West African Micro-Loans

Helping to remove the road blocks of poverty...

Co-founders Aaron and Clay on their 2005 visit to Russia where our Liberian friends were met.

About WAM

In 2002 while on a LDS mission in Rostov Russia, co-founder Aaron Christensen became acquainted with several Liberian students.  The moment he became aware of the hardships and struggles that Liberians go through, he wanted to help.

From 2002 till 2007 Aaron’s friends and family (including co-founder Clay Donaldson) helped these Liberian students secure an education and return to Liberia.  Now home these highly educated Liberians are faced with an 80% unemployment rate and no means to support themselves.

While the country of Liberia is rich in natural resources, it remains one of the poorest countries in the world.  With fresh new ideas all our Liberian brothers and sisters really need to get started is a small amount of capital.

In order to raise funds and help those in Liberia and West Africa, West African Micro Loans was created.  Our first loans recipients are those University graduate students we met in Russia.
