MTKO’s vision is to defeat hunger and homelessness. This was challenging for OB to start the NF project in MTKO center. The program was officially launched in October 2023. The women take loans for phone bills, car registration, electric bills, security deposit, gas bills, job application fees, and living expenses. They return the loan slowly when they can. The NF loans have been given to 37 clients. They are all very grateful for this interest free loan in the time of emergency.
Success Stories
“I am so thankful – this program really changed my life and my children’s. I had no other option and no one to turn to. Without the loan, I would have to postpone my surgery. Those two nights in the hotel brought us so much peace.”
Sheri Lockman
“Having the loan when I needed it, and being able to pay it back gradually – it helped more than I can explain.”
Christine Lewis
One of the program participants was so thankful for the help that she paid $90 extra to help someone else out, and told “So very kind of them!”
