Moments in 2014!

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 12:40 PM PST
2014 was a big year for PHPG.  We worked with farmers, artisans, and local entrepreneurs to help them improve their businesses. We distributed our 500th loan. Celebrated our 6th anniversary of working in Nicaragua. We built new partnerships.

Here are some highlights from a successful year.

Thank you, Henry for posting this.  Since I had posted some information about PHPG earlier, and suggested it as a locally run charity, I wanted people to read about exactly what PHPG is doing, and as the blog shows, they are doing wonderful work helping people out of extreme poverty.
