Give a Hoot for Self-Help International by helping women in Ghana and Nicaragua start and grow their own businesses. Self Help works to support women business owners in rural communities by providing low interest micro-loans. Oftentimes, women in these small communities are not eligible to receive loans through formal banks and sometimes end up taking loans with predatory lenders.  By having access to capital through Self-Help, women are able to start and invest in their businesses.  In tandem with providing micro-loans, Self Help offers training sessions to help women improve their business practices so they can grow their incomes.  Women are powerful agents for changes, and when you invest in them, they are able to lift up their families and communities.  Economically empowered women empower others.  With the economic uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s crucial to help women invest in their businesses.  For more information on Self-Help International visit selfhelpinternational.org

South Florida Hooters is supporting this great cause in memory of the late Dave “Lags” Lageschulte, Hooters franchise owner, Waverly native, and long-time supporter of Self-Help International.

“South Florida Hooters has supported Self Help International for more than 11 years. The support began because the late Dave “Lags” Lageschulte, founder of South Florida Hooters was from the same small town, Waverly, IA, where Self Help International was founded. Lags and his family supported Self Help from its inception. Hooters has sent local Hooters Calendar Girls to the Give a Hoot Weekend,” said LTP Management Director of Marketing Kristi Quarles.
