Read moreVISION: Inspired by the message of the Gospel and motivated to action by the experiences and hopes of the poor and excluded, the vision of ECLOF is to support the building of sustainable communities which respect the rights and dignity of each person, regardless of gender, race, creed, political beliefs or socio-economic status; hear and heed the voice of the poor and excluded, and foster broad-based participation in decision making; protect and sustain the integrity of Gods creation; and meet peoples basic needs and promote sustainable livelihoods for all.
MISSION: Fair credit for human development and sustainable communities. ECLOFs mission is to provide fair credit for human development and sustainable communities, in witness to the Christian faith. To fulfill this mission, ECLOF shall mobilise resources within the ecumenical movement and beyond and responsibly manage national credit programs so that it can: make fair credit widely available for poor and excluded groups, who are committed to building sustainable livelihoods and communities; make loans to needy churches and Christian-related groups who do not otherwise have access to credit but who are committed to promoting the life of the church and providing services or opportunities for poor and excluded groups; and facilitate the sharing of resources in ways that strengthen understanding, solidarity and self-reliance, and avoid dependency and external indebtedness.
