General

There are a number of activity sectors that Prometheus supports which we receive only occasional loan applications for.  These include, complementary medicine, alternative therapies, low-impact lifestyle choices and other responsible and sustainable businesses and practices.

We have chosen to give examples of these on this page in one general activity sector as none of these sectors warrants a separate category of its own at this stage.

These projects are, however, all keenly supported by Prometheus as we feel they all have a contribution to make and a role to play in moving New Zealand to a healthy and sustainable future.
