“The help we received from The Gemach Project through the loan is so great!  I was not easily able to have food for my children or to meet other needs.  But since we have had the help  from the loan we now have food everyday and have a small amount of money for other needs.”

“My business is to buy onions in Butembo at a low price and then drive to Kisangani and resell them where the price is higher.  I have  good benefit in the dry season as the road is good for traveling, but when it rains the roads become impassable and the onions may spoil.  In general the business is not so bad.   God continues to help us and we now have no problem buying food or other small needs.”

“I am also able sometimes to buy a special diet for my daughter who has diabetes.  Before it was a very big problem to care for her and I was afraid for her life and future.  I remember one day when she was in the hospital crying during the night.  The doctor said that she would need a special diet.  My daughter asked me how I would be able to buy special food for her.  She thought that she would not be cured.”

“The compassion of the people who are willing to help others in need is a great action that gives new strength and new hope in our lives.”

“May God bless all of the staff of The Gemach Project and all who are supporting their activities.”

Kahindo was given a $100 loan in January of this year.  She has already paid back 25% of that loan and has been able to put some money into savings.  Thanks to all who are supporting the efforts of The Gemach Project -  It works.
