Our Objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are concerned with sustainable economic empowerment of poor as well as education, culture and healthcare in developing countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For sustainable economic empowerment projects, the special feature of our current and future programs is that borrowers (especially women) receive credit on favorable terms and acquire some basic commercial skills, what budget planning, marketing, sales, etc. are concerned. The projects base on women, as they are the backbone of the family in general, and manage the household income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Association for International Development – Saxony has three focal areas of activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Support for disadvantaged and poor people by providing them access to micro loans so that they can start their own business<\/li>
  2. Assistance to educational centers to provide better education especially to children of disadvantaged families and students who cannot travel into big towns to attend classes<\/li>
  3. Funding of selected social projects which are visible and bring an immediate positive impact to the beneficiaries<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
