How We Work
Step-by-step process – The loan cycle
Our approach is structured, transparent and designed for sustainability. We follow a cycle-based model, ensuring that funds are continuously reused to help more individuals.
1. Community Identification
Local representatives identify individuals and families with genuine need and a practical business plan (tailoring, livestock, shop inventory, agriculture inputs, etc.).
2. Application & Review
HEWT reviews the applicant’s plan, local context, and the amount needed,
keeping the focus on what will realistically increase income.
3. Loan Disbursement (Interest-Free)
Approved borrowers receive an interest-free loan with no collateral. Funds are intended specifically for business-related use.
4. Guidance & Check-ins
Local representatives provide light-touch support to ensure funds are used as intended and to troubleshoot early challenges.
5. Flexible Repayment
Borrowers repay the principal only, on a schedule, typically monthly repayments, helping families avoid harmful debt cycles.
6. Pay-It-Forward Impact
Repaid funds are used to issue new loans to other families—expanding impact without charging interest.
