# Micro-Lending Web Platforms Lendwithcare.org Works with The Co-operative By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-04-20 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lendwithcareorg References: [businessfightspoverty.org](http://www.businessfightspoverty.org/profiles/blogs/jo-broughton-supporting-life-changing-investment-on-a-community) & [Lendwithcare.org](http://Lendwithcare.org) It is more than safe to say that microcredit, microfinance and microlending has become a mainstay in global development scenes and Lendwithcare.org adds to the bunch. While doing an interview for SocialBusiness.org with a social entrepreneur living and working in India, she noted that it is sometimes difficult to decipher trend from mainstay and that much of the work that's being done now has yet to be assessed seriously with long-term effects. But have things changed that much? A project of [CARE International Lendwithcare.org](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wawa-coffee-and-care-cart), which works with The-Co-operative, with uses an online web platform to promote micro-lending. It is based in the United Kingdom but works in countries around the world. **Contact Information** Lendwithcare.org [website](http://www.lendwithcare.org/) Lendwithcare on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/lendwithcare) Lendwithcare on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/lendwithcare) Lendwithcare on [Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/60398639@N05/) Lendwithcare on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/user/lendwithcare) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Micro-lending:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of using blockchain technology to provide transparent and secure micro-lending services. - **Online Web Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a user-friendly web platform that connects lenders and borrowers for micro-lending purposes. - **Global Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a digital platform that facilitates crowdfunding for projects focused on global development. ### Where This Applies - **Fintech:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate artificial intelligence into micro-lending platforms to automate credit assessments and loan approvals. - **Social Entrepreneurship:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establish a social enterprise that provides training and support for micro-lending initiatives in underserved communities. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop mobile applications that enable convenient and secure micro-lending transactions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blockchain-Based Credit Scoring Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/credit-scoring-solution.md) - [Multi-Currency Market Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waza.md) - [Child-Specific Peer Donation Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lets-match-mums.md) - [Specialized Ethical Commerce Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethical-commerce-platform.md) - [Embedded Lending Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adyen-launched.md) - [Intelligent Loan Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levrai.md) - [Crowdfunding Feedback Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feedfund.md) - [Australian Fintech Lending Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrington-labs.md) - [Responsible Investment Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/responsible-investment-platform.md)
