Meet microfinance entrepreneurs

Savings Group members are farmers, hairdressers, cafe owners, clothes sellers, car washers, market traders and countless trades in between. Some are located in towns, most are found in rural areas and many of them are women. Few members had a safe place to save or borrow money until they joined their community Savings Group. Now, members are growing their businesses, saving for their children’s education, supporting their families and preparing for their futures in Groups started by our partners.
