It has been one year since Common Interest gave its first loan in Thailand. The first group has fully re-paid its first loan to buy cows and is now considering bigger ideas. The group was quite proud of their accomplishments and believe that micro-credit has given them the opportunity that they needed.

Currently, Common Interest has over 280 members in 16 villages and 3 provinces. 74% of our members are women and the majority are from ethnic hilltribe communities. The demand for our services continues to grow.
