Changed Lives: Inspired to Give

A word from donors whose lives have been touched by their contributions to WILFund

"Through WILFund, we can change the world and make a difference, individually and jointly. Especially in times such as these, this is critical. By granting loans to impoverished entrepreneurial women in developing countries, we are investing in our future as well as theirs and providing a vehicle to change lives, one at a time, for generations to come."

Senior Counsel, Jackson DeMarco & Peckenpaugh
Founding Member, Orange County WILFund Donor Board of Advisors

"I began my business with a loan, not a gift. Today through the Women's International Loan Fund I have the opportunity to help a woman with a loan that will enable her to work her way out of poverty. This dignifies both of us: for me that I can give this loan, for her that she can receive the loan with the hope of transforming her life."
