Introduction

Five Talents is currently supporting nine micro-loan programmes on three continents. Click on the link to find details of the country programmes.

The total number of loan clients is now around 20,000, of whom two-thirds are women entrepreneurs.

Each loan reaches more than the individual entrepreneur: including the families of the entrepreneur and the families of their employees means that each loan typically impacts 20 lives. Our target is to reach at least 50,000 loan-clients by the end of 2008, impacting one million people through job creation and family livelihoods.

Our newest projects are in the Dominican Republic, Tanzania and Southern Sudan, all of which were launched during 2007.
