Grameen America Los Angeles

Hello Facebook community! We are very pleased to announce that we disbursed over $150k in small loans throughout the Los Angeles area in the month of April! Please support our cause by sharing our page!... Thank you so much for the continued support from our friends, family, local non-profits, NY office, & of course our successful borrowers!! We greatly appreciate the understanding of our Trainees & Managers' long work hours, stressful situations, and especially sharing in our happiness when we see a client thrive because our loan gave her the capital she needed to get her business off its feet. -Natalie

Starting off the month of April by disbursing $10k in loans to business women living in poverty within Los Angeles! Great job!! Unity, discipline, and hard work are the keys to success!

Congratulations to our Center Manager Jessica Rivas for being the Best Performer Of 2013 in our branch. Great Job :)

Hello Los Angeles! We are so excited to finally be able to announce today's special visit from our Founder Professor Mohammad Yunus, our CEO Andrea Jung, and our board chairman Professor Latifee. We're extremely proud to be able to welcome them to our office because Professor Yunus rarely gets the chance to visit an office directly and chose to stop by our Grameen America Los Angeles office!!... For those of you who aren't very familiar with the micro-finance world, Professor Yunus received the Nobel Peace Prize for all the work he's done worldwide in helping lower the poverty level. It is an absolute honor to even be in the same room with a man who has done so much for so many people. We will be posting pictures of this huge event very soon! Still missing the rest of our girls in New York!! Pray that they have a safe flight home next week!

We're so happy to announce that last week we disbursed over $40k in small business loans to our community!! Closing out 2013 with a bang!

Dan Rather's report on Grameen America! Please take the time to view this interesting video uploaded several years ago. It describes the work we do here in Los Angeles as well. Thank you!

We finally caught her! Here's CM Natalie (showing her Halloween spirit) disbursing a 2nd cycle loan to a one of our great borrowers. She gave out $3300 in loans today! CM Jessica also gave out 5 loans today totaling $6900! Great job ladies!!

Congratulations to our Senior Center Managers Natalie Hernandez and Jessica Rivas who have been selected to go to the Grameen America Training Center in New York for two weeks in November!! We're very proud of all the hard work they do for us. Congratulations, girls!

My favorite part of our job... hanging out with our borrowers' cutie pie babies!!
