Principles
HFM’S GUIDING PRINCIPLES

SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION

We provide a ladder of opportunity to provide microfinance services to the rural population of Burundi who does not have easy access to banking services in the rural area as we proclaim and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” HFM staff need to be transformed spiritually in order to transform Burundian families Burundian families can only be transformed spiritually if our clients are spiritually transformed Spiritual transformation starts by ensuring that clients are born again and are growing spiritually.

ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION

Economic transformation starts by training and giving loans to clients and as they move from one cycle to another they grow their businesses. They therefore earn more, live good life in abundance

SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION

Social transformation involves helping Burundians to live in peace and unity by forgetting about their differences ethnically, religiously, regionally, by eliminating all forms of discrimination among Burundians. This is done through peace and reconciliation program Productive poor people in the rural areas are empowered with small business loans and vital financial training can afford the cost of education to keep their children in school and are contributing to the development of their communities.

CULTURE TRANSFORMATION

Culture transformation involves training our clients on biblical values that will suppress the bad cultures. This can be done by having devotions in every meeting with clients. HIV education is part of the cultural transformation as this problem will be eliminated if people are culturally transformed In its main mission HFM educates, assists, supports the population in the management of credit and saving culture. HFM provides them education on savings and solidarity culture through credits received to make a margin that could be invested in future.
