A lending platform for Foreign Domestic Workers who need help
Borrowing money for emergencies back home can be difficult and expensive. Lending Help would like to help Foreign Domestic Workers (FDWs) get access to funds at a low or no cost at all.
Example: Amy needs to borrow $500 for an emergency back in Philippines and applies for a 3 month loan with Lending Help. We will publish Amy's Loan Case in our platform and to ask for 50 people who are willing to lend Amy $10 for 3 months - this is called crowd sourcing. Amy will receive $500 in her account. Every month, Amy will repay her loan through Lending Help who will distribute the repayment to the Lenders.
