No country offers the

variety of food and spices

like India and the

volunteers are always

adventurous and willing to

try it all. They even

shopped in the local

markets and cooked.

From getting around in

auto rickshaws, shopping

for Indian clothes,

enjoying morning chai

with the locals and temple

visits, this trip offered new

experiences every day.

Both teams were

introduced to religious

festivals across India and

participated in special

CASHPOR CLIENTS BY 2017

History:

CASHPOR began operations in 1996 and CASHPOR

Microcredit was started in 2002 as a poverty focused, Not-

For-Profit, Section 25 Company, with the undiluted

commitment to alleviating poverty through a model which is

operationally scalable, financially sustainable and yet socially

responsible to clients. The mission of the company is “To

identify and motivate Below-Poverty-Line (BPL) women in

rural areas and to deliver financial and other vital credit plus

services to them in an honest, timely and efficient manner, so

that the vision is realized and CASHPOR itself remains a

financially sustainable micro finance institution for the poor.”

WPF Partnership:

Whole Planet Foundation began funding CASPOR in 2012

with a 0% interest loan of $1,000,000. In August 2014 WPF

extended an additional sub-debt loan equivalent to USD

$3.61M to be directed towards the “Income Generating

Loan” (IGL) loan pool, establishing 10 new branches, and

disbursing a total of 754,816,000 INR to 29,880 new BPL

borrowers over the course of three years to help CASHPOR

reach their goal of 1,000,000 clients by 2017.

Funding is designated as subordinated debt. As subordinated

debt, WPF funds will be counted as equity of the company

and able to be leveraged 6.7 times in accessing commercial

bank loans.

CASHPOR’s Approach:

Effective targeting methods are used to ensure that only BPL

women enter into the program. For this, clients are first

selected using CASHPOR Housing Index, which has been

specifically tailored to suit the economic conditions in India.

The clients are further filtered based on Progress out of

Poverty scores wherein only those with a score less than 30

are selected for financial assistance. CASHPOR currently

operates in states in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Chattisgarh.

Joint liability groups form Centers of 15-25 members, and

installments of both interest and capital are paid weekly at

center meetings in rural communities. CASHPOR has

recently adopted a very innovative mobile technology. The

mobile technology is designed to integrate all the

microfinance operations into a compact and easy to use

interface. Data generated in the field is then immediately sent

to the centralized database server at the Varanasi head

office.

Besides microfinance activities, the organization also

provides clients credit plus services including health and

education services. In recognition of his work, Professor

David Gibbons has won the Contribution to the Sector by an

Individual award at the Access Microfinance Conference

2011. CASHPOR was awarded the Best MFI of the Year in

large category in 2012 at the Microfinance India Awards.

CASHPOR Micro Credit

COMMUNITY Team Members got to learn about village life by walking

through the village to client homes, engaging with client

families and community members.

VISITING MICROENTREPRENEURS Team Members visited individual microcredit clients at

their businesses where they got to ask questions and

learn about the clients’ successes and challenges.

TIME WITH CASHPOR STAFF Team Member volunteers spent time with CASHPOR

staff learning about microfinance methodology and how

they recruit new members and administer loans.

CENTER MEETINGS They attended center meetings to learn about solidarity

groups, the procedure of a center meeting and the

process of securing and repaying a loan.

PAYMENT BOOKS Team Member volunteers learned about payment

books that microcredit clients keep and how they are

maintained in the process of getting a microloan.

LEARNING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESSES Volunteers met several different clients with various

businesses to better understand the diversity of

microentrepreneurial activities.

THE MIRACLE FOUNDATION HAS HOSTED WFM TEAM MEMBER

VOLUNTEERS SINCE 2011

EVERY child deserves to experience a sense of

belonging and childhood by having a home, a family and

love. The Miracle Foundation developed a method that

transforms the way children's homes are run, funded

and managed. The Miracle Foundation is an

established, secular, multinational nonprofit

organization, implementing a world-changing idea for

orphans everywhere. They are dedicated to orphaned

children, and are looking for like-minded people to join

them as they make childhood a reality for orphaned

children.

The Miracle Foundation partners with small, struggling

children's homes with a lot of heart, but not enough

resources to feed, clothe, nourish and educate children.

Through years of experience, they have found that the

most sustainable way to help people help themselves is

to strengthen existing children's homes and transform

them into loving homes where children can thrive.

Caroline Boudreaux

Founder

The Miracle Foundation

The Miracle Foundation

It is a child’s right to play, and Team

Member volunteers bring hours of fun

to the children in the Anwesha and

Cornerstone children's homes during

their visits. Crafts, dancing, sports,

games, painting and reading are all part

of a typical day with the kids of a

Miracle Foundation-supported

children's home. Play is important for

the development of the children and the

creativity and variety of play that Team

Members bring to that play is

invaluable.

The volunteers are always eager and

ready to learn about local culture and

India brings opportunity at every turn.

Team 1 was lucky enough to visit

Trichy on the auspicious day of the

Lord Ganesh, one of over 3 million

gods worshipped by Hindus. They

joined a procession of worshipers

walking the deity to the river for

submersion, a very holy offering in this

part of India.

Team 2 visited Agartala during one of

the biggest festival days of the year,

Durga Puja (Festival of Durga). Not

only did the team visit with locals while

viewing the many pandals, a structure

built to hold the deities, but they also

helped the children at the children's

home to decorate their own pandal and

build a replica of the demon Ravan,

which was then burned. This

opportunity allowed the children

another important right, the right to

religious expression of their choice.

PLAY LEARN SHARE

When Team Member volunteers visit one of The Miracle

Foundation children’s homes, they become Ambassadors, able

to speak on behalf of not only the children, but also the work of

The Miracle Foundation. The children have a chance to host

visitors in their own home and the quality time spent together

daily gives our children memories they will never forget. The

Team Member volunteers leave India with strong bonds to the

children and an entirely new perspective on life.

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS

Volunteers spent time at Miracle Foundation-

sponsored children's homes where they:

Cleared playground areas of bricks, rocks and weeds.

Built two large playgrounds.

Mixed and poured a truckload of cement.

Dug hole after hole, by hand.

Directed a craft hour daily, with fun, individualized

projects.

Painted 4 classrooms with creative murals and

educational designs.

Decorated a 40 foot effigy of Ravan for burning on the

holy day.

Decorated a pandal to celebrate Durga Puja.

Adorned 23 small girls for the day of Durga ceremony.

Took over 160 kids on excursions to temples and parks.

Created and decorated 200 Christmas ornaments.

Painted 300 small clay lamps for Diwali.

Planted 150 plants.

Erected 2 large soccer goal posts.

Taught 160 kids the importance of hand washing and

composed a new hand washing song.

Learned how to roll chapati.

Learned how to make coconut chutney.

Participated in countless hours of dancing, sports, play

and music with the children.

THE MIRACLE FOUNDATION

while involving the children in the construction and playing with them.

Information from Traditional Medicinals:

For nearly forty years, we've been passionate about

connecting people with the power of plants.

What makes us different? The quality of our herbs, our

trained herbalists, and our values.

We’re committed to using high quality pharmacopoeial

grade herbs and embracing ingredient purity,

sustainability, and social and environmental activism. We

were and are pioneers in the wellness tea categories

and will continue to lead the way.

We don’t just make formulas because they sound good.

We’re passionate about passing along the centuries-old

wisdom of how to use plants for wellness. Every tea and

herbal product that we make must have sufficient

evidence of safety, quality and efficacy in support of our

claim statements and formulation rationale.

We’re serious about sustainability. From our certified

organic and non-GMO ingredients to our commitment to

renewable energy, we represent the vanguard of

environmental and social responsibility. In all we do, we

strive to uphold the three pillars of sustainability:

environmental protection, social equity, and economic

viability.

We are committed to annual sustainability reporting,

which allows assessment and rating by independent

sustainability organizations. Our sustainability

performance is being measured using metrics and

standards developed by B Lab, the California Green

Business Program, the Green America Green Business

Network, and the Sustainable Food Trade Association.

While sourcing more than 100 botanicals from more than

25 countries around the globe, our company works to

support social justice and environmental health – from

collection to cultivation to consumption. Our ultimate goal

is to help transform the commerce of herbs by supporting

ethical and sustainable trade at every point of the value

chain. Progress to date moves us toward a long-term

goal of achieving full ingredient sustainability by our 50th

anniversary in 2024, if not sooner. That includes the goal

of 100 percent certified organic, fair trade, FairWild® and

Non-GMO Project verified ingredients, as well as

biodegradable, compostable and recyclable packaging.

it possible for those who want to help access to programs to fulfill that

need. I leaned so much about a new culture and it puts many things into

perspective.

Meeting with CASHPOR was very informative and then to meet the loan

recipients. They are so proud and enjoyed telling their stories to us. We

learned much about their past and how far they’ve come so far and their

plans for the future, including being able to send their daughters to

college! I think that this is exactly the information our stores want to hear

so they can relay this to our customers.”
