Since December 2022, over 3,000 families have benefited from Thien Chi’s microcredit program. With loans of $100–$400 and monthly follow-ups, incomes grow by 14%-25% yearly, and around 200 families leave poverty each year.
As an alternative to microcredit, Thien Chi provides breeding animals. When the animals give birth, families return baby animals of equal value, which Thien Chi sells to support the next households. Around 20 poor families benefit from this program each year.
