Agriculture
❖ We provide training and support to farmers to improve their skills and knowledge in sustainable agriculture with better farming techniques for better yield.
❖ Provide hands-on learning, funding and career development in farming and food systems. These programs offer opportunities for skill development in areas like animal husbandry and crop production, support for youth-led projects, and connections to mentors and the broader agricultural community.
❖ We support farmers by providing access to inputs, such as seeds and Fertilizers and equipment.
❖ We promote market access for farmers by connecting them with buyers and providing market information.
Microfinance
Our Microfinance program provides small financial services to families who do not have access to traditional banks.
The program gives low-income individuals, especially women and youth, the chance to start or grow a small business, manage their money, and build a better future for their families.
Instead of giving handouts, microfinance empowers people with tools to help themselves.
How our Microfinance program Works
Micro Loans: Small amounts of money given to start a business like selling goods, farming, tailoring, or food vending. Repaid in small weekly or monthly installments.
Savings: Encourages people to save small amounts regularly to build security for emergencies and future plans.
Training: Business skills, financial literacy, and record keeping so borrowers can succeed and repay.
Group Support: Many programs use groups where members support each other and guarantee loans together.
Why Microfinance Matters for Our Community
In Barnersville, and across Montserrado & Grand Bassa Counties, many families have good business ideas but no capital. Microfinance helps to:
– Reduce Poverty: Creates income so families can afford food, school fees, and healthcare
– Empower Women: Gives women control over income and decision making
– Create Jobs: Small businesses hire neighbors and grow the local economy
– Build Self-Reliance: Moves families from dependency to independence
FCDP & Microfinance
At Family Community Development Program, we believe “TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES” starts with economic power.
Our goal is to launch a Community Microfinance Program that provides:
– Small, affordable loans to market women, youth, and farmers
– Free business training and mentorship
– A safe place for families to save
With the right support and partnerships, we can help hundreds of families start businesses and break the cycle of poverty.
MATCHING FUNDS
FCDP MICROFINANCE & MATCHING FUNDS PROGRAM
Empowering Entrepreneurs. Multiplying Impact.
How It Works
Our program combines 2 powerful tools:
Microfinance Loans
We provide small, affordable loans to help members start or expand businesses in trading, agriculture, tailoring, food service, and more.
Each loan comes with:
– Low interest rates
– Flexible weekly/monthly repayment
– Free business training and financial literacy
– Ongoing mentorship from FCDP staff
Matching Funds
We believe in investing in people who are already investing in themselves.
For every dollar a member saves toward their business, FCDP or our partners will match it.
Example:
If a woman saves $100 for her market stall, we match it with $100. She now has $200 in capital to start.
This does 3 things:
1. Builds ownership: People work harder for money they helped save
2. Increases capital: Businesses start bigger and stronger
3. Encourages saving: Families build a safety net for the future
Why This Model Works
Traditional charity gives once. Microfinance + Matching Funds creates lasting change.
Our Goal
In year 1, FCDP aims to support 200 entrepreneurs with microloans and matching funds.
With your support, we can help them launch businesses that will feed families, pay school fees, and grow our local economy.
Get Involved
– Donate: Your donation becomes matching funds. $100 from you = $200 for a business.
– Partner: Corporates and NGOs can sponsor a cohort of 20 entrepreneurs
– Volunteer: Teach business skills, bookkeeping, or marketing to our members
Together, we can move families from survival to self-reliance.
