We have someone doing lawn maintenance, a boy who breaks horses, and a boy with his own composting business. One boy used his loan to seed an alfalfa field and when he sold the hay he paid back the loan. Another youth restored an old car to resale. The loans can be used to purchase animals, equipment STEEL and supplies. To rent or purchase needed tools and also to pay for operating expenses. These projects really teach the youth responsibility. They have to do record keeping, keep track of their debt repayment and depending on the project they keep track of production expenses, production yield, price per pound for their animal and many related items. This is an excellent program, they have up to seven years to repay the loan. A lot of the success of the program participants has been the amount of parental support they receive.
