Opportunity Details

Loans are rarely given to the poorer people in the community we serve, as they have no collateral, meaning they struggle to find ways to escape the poverty trap. Micro-finance is a proven way of not creating millionaires but increasing living standards for those who need the most help.

Most of the women we serve do not even own bank accounts, as when all the family expenses have been met, albeit with difficulty, there is nothing left to save. Banks, Microfinance Institutions even informal Shylocks need one to present a healthy financial history in the bank statements, a document over 90% of the group members lack. This unfortunate factor contributes to the depths of poverty among the women in the communities we serve, who need help to come out.
