Join Secret Projects Social Investor Core. Give a loan to empower women in India and support leadership

 27th Jul 2020 |  Invest |  Margaret Ring


Secret Projects Social Investor Core is a group of passionate and committed social investors that Secret Projects has borrowed funds from, offering a competitive interest rate on these loans in return. Over the last five years, we have opened up a number of investment 'rounds' and have been fortunate to have worked with a body of entrepreneurial and like-minded creditors who all share our vision of a world where all women have the confidence and resources to make choices, thrive and contribute to the strengthening of their communities. Over the last 5 years we have been able to borrow £37,000 from this group and have repaid £21,000 of the money borrowed at maturity date with interest.

The loan terms are:
  • Loan Period - 3 years
  • Interest rate - 3% interest per annum.
  • Minimum loan - £500

Interest will be paid yearly, but an investor can choose to have their interest rolled over to the following year.

These loans have made a huge difference to the impact we have been able to make in India. Using the precious money wisely we have been able to create more Maker Groups to give women an opportunity to not only earn a good and fair income, but to also have an opportunity to develop their leadership and entrepreneurial skills through our 4 stage Virtual Training for Empowerment Programme.

If you would like to join the Secret Projects Investor Core and become one of our creditors or talk to us in more  detail about this opportunity to use your money to empower women, please email invest@secretprojects.org
