Low-Interest Home Loans for Workers

Hoja Verde's Fair Trade workers started a microcredit program, funded with Fair Trade premiums. Farm workers can obtain up to $5,000 loans at low interest rates for purchasing land or a home. For many families, home ownership is a lifelong dream which is made possible by the farm workers’ microfinance program. Since the program’s inception in April 2007, over $250,000 has been invested back into the community in the form of investment loans.
