Micro Finance
• The micro finance segment focuses on economically active women whose income falls under or just above the international poverty line ($2 a day).
• These women are usually secondary earners in their households. Some do not have a steady income of their own but may contribute to a home-based or family enterprise.
• Despite their limited income, such women typically manage their households’ finances and invest earnings back into their families.
• This population is unable to access formal credit, as most families lack the requisite documentation and collateral guarantee requirements.
Our focus when serving this segment, in addition to providing financial access for business expansion, is to empower these women to improve their livelihoods, build on their capacities and ultimately become self-reliant.
