So you want to make an interest-free micro-loan to help the poor of Arequipa?

1. On this page you will find a listing of loan needs.  Each loan's article features the option to add a "unit" of that loan to Your Cart (on the right side of this page).

2. Once you have added the loan(s) that you want to finance to Your Cart, click the "Show Cart" button under Your Cart.

3. Make a decision about the number of each unit you want.  ICDU's loans are broken into $25 units, but you can finance as many units as you want of any given loan.  Make sure to click "Change" after updating the number of units.

4. When you are ready, click "Order" and review your order.  Then click "Confirm." Once you enter your name, email address, and click "Confirm" again, your order is placed in our system and an email to you is generated confirming your order.

5. But you must click on the Paypal button at the bottom of the screen in order to finish the transaction.  You will be redirected to Paypal's website where you will have the option to pay with your Paypal account or your credit card (also through Paypal).  The total of your ICDU order will be listed at the top of the Paypal screen.  The order is already linked to their system, and all you have to do is follow Paypal's instructions to finish the process.
