A genuine charity doing great work
I have recently loaned with this great charity. As an ex fraud investigator I am 100% confident that they are genuine. The negative posts about staff taking a salary are unfair. Every charity has someone at the helm and this particular charity pays the going rate for a position of such responsibility. They are doing great work and I love the idea of directly supporting another human being(s) who are working hard to support family and other workers. I’ve just done a third loan and am very happy with the process and subsequent communication. I hope that my relationship with this charity will stretch many years into the future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this considered review, we really appreciate it. We're so pleased to have your support, and hope that you continue lending through Lendwithcare long into the future. Have a wonderful day!
Probably Marketed Differently in the country of receipt
I loaned because I am interested in people. I looked at business plans and wondered if they would work and what the entrepreneur would say about their business plan and their experience. I was looking forward to regular updates but despite making a number of loans I have had no feedback from anyone I invested in which has been my biggest disappointment. I wonder it this is marketed differently in the country receiving the loan? The website says people in developing countries might be too busy to leave feedback but I am a working person and I have time to check out loans that spark an interest. When my current loans are repaid I plan to close my account as I have had to simply guess how my entrepreneur's have got on and what worked for them and what did not work.

I am sorry you haven't received feedback from the entrepreneurs you have supported. As you know, we work through local partners and we do strongly encourage them to submit updates and I am sorry you haven't received any. The challenge for our partners is having the time to collect and upload updates while carrying out the regular work of appraising businesses and disbursing loans. We perform regular monitoring and evaluations We conduct regular evaluation trips to all of our partners to check that the loans requested are the loans that are given. This includes rigorously tracking a proportion of the loans and conducting face to face meetings with the entrepreneurs. This also includes ensuring entrepreneurs have signed a consent form for their details to be published on the Lendwithcare platform. Do email info@lendwithcare.org if you would like more information.

THE MORE i LEARN THE MORE SISAPPOINTED i AM
For example I cant find out how wealthy Tracy horner is worth which makes me suuspicious that she is raking off loads of our money for her personsal greed . I have no evidence to dupport this allergation . I will not ever support Lend with care And I will not be lending any more money . I am a pensioner on a fixed income but I have a gut feeling that I was stupid to get involved I really want to dupport people less fortunat than me but my gut feeling is That I am jut making wealthy people richer . I will be withdrawing my funding as I am repaid.

Thank you for supporting low-income entrepreneurs through Lendwithcare. We truly appreciate your support, but we would respectfully ask you to consider the implications before leaving reviews like this. Lendwithcare is operated by CARE International UK, a registered charity (292506) regulated by the Charity Commission. Our small, dedicated team works incredibly hard to deliver the project, and we are always happy to respond to any questions from our lenders. If there is anything you would like further information on, you can reach us at any time at info@lendwithcare.org. Please rest assured that 100% of the loans made through Lendwithcare go directly to the entrepreneurs who receive them. In addition, we raise funds to support CARE’s operational costs, which may come from voluntary top-up donations or regular donations made by lenders. These contributions are entirely optional and help ensure the continued success of the project.
Long time lender
I have been lending with Lend with Care for a long time now, I've had an account for over 10 years and signed up in University to do the odd loan, but really started ramping up the lending in the last few years. I usually stick to a £15 loan and increase the amount of loans I do where I can. I have got to the point where I can usually do a new £15 loan each month from the repayments that are made to me by all my active loans. My next goal is to get two two new loans per month through repayments and more investment.
I love loaning with Lend with Care, it is something I look forward to every month and I take time to choose who to lend to next. Everyone on the platform deserves help but I enjoy taking the time to read the stories and select the person to contribute to.
I have done 47 loans micro loans, and the money in the account is truly recycling from one entrepreneur to another with the odd top up from me. I've only had 1 full default and one partial which were a long time ago.
I've also completed one grant where I bought a cooking stove for families.
I'm not sure what else to say, there is joy in giving!
Well done to the lend with care team and to the entrepreneurs who take these loans, do great things with them, and then pay back consistently!

Lending to Further Female Education
Lendwithcare was recommended to me by a friend over 10 years ago. I think it's a wonderful idea (which I adopted) and have since encouraged others to sign up. I lend to those who educate their daughters - it helps me decide where to loan and hopefully also gives the girls more autonomy.

Long term happy lender
I’ve been an active lender with Lendwithcare for 10 years now and can wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s great to know that a small amount of my money is out there helping entrepreneurs to develop their businesses and support their families, rather than it just sitting in the bank. I enjoy choosing the entrepreneurs who align with my own personal values and interests (eg green energy) - it makes me feel like I’m on Dragons Den :-)

A great idea
A great idea to link people who can lend with people who need the loans, in "the field". There were lots of options and everything seems very professional - new people registering get £15 free to lend, which is a good incentive to spread the money/help.

Thanks so much for joining Lendwithcare! We're so pleased that one of our lovely lenders shared a referral code with you. We just wanted to note here that only new people registering through a referral link from an existing lender will receive £15 free credit to lend. Thankfully, we still have hundreds of new lenders joining every month and adding their own credit to get started too!
