My Story

Why I Give

I first heard of Wokai on CNN while traveling in Turkey. I was moved by the stories and inspired by the concept of helping people help themselves. After completing graduate school in southern California I wanted to find a new way to make a real difference in the lives of others. I believe micro-finance lending bestows dignity to the borrower by providing an opportunity to live a better life.

  Our whole family is looking forward to a happy Chinese New Year -- I used my loan to buy feed for my milk cows, and now I am using the income from selling their milk to pay back that loan. We are still looking after my mother-in-law, and we are all looking forward to a happy Chinese New Year.

  I hope our income from farming is even better next year -- Raising dairy cows has been going well, and our family is using the money we earn to pay back our loan. Our farming income was also pretty good this year, and hopefully next year it will be even better.
