Micro Credict Program for Burmese Migrant Workers

In this time Thai government are allowances to register of work permit for Burmese Migrant workers. It is good opportunities for Burmese Migrant Workers because if they have work permit they are free and work in Thailand and the have good health insurance.

But the workers are needed to pay one time for their registration fees about 4,000 Baht per each. They have not enough money for this critical issue. Their salary is very low some are get under 3,000 Baht per month in here Maesai.

In our Maesai Church we have Micro Credit and Saving Project. In this project about 40 workers and families are membership. They saving 300 Baht per month and if they have emergency need (like apply work permit) they can loan from this project about 4,000 Baht per each.

We don’t have much money and in this time all the membership are want to borrow from our Micro Credit and Saving Project for apply to work permit. We need about 60,000 Baht. Some are giving back to within 3 months and some are 4 months….

So, we need this amount 60,000 Baht and to borrow 15 Burmese Migrant Workers and families. For one family 4,000 Baht and they are giving back to our Church within ten months (depending on their family income conditions).

For this project we have 12 members working committee and this committee is monitoring and evaluation to them for the project impacts.

Our aim is to lead each member out of poverty by offering loans that are paid back within a system of accountability. (As loans are paid back, the money remains within the group and is used to fund the giving of loans to other members who are waiting patiently to receive their loan.)
