CREDIT AGAINST POVERTY (CAP)

A woman receiving a low interest loan
Credit is accessed to women groups and individuals using the GROUP SOLIDARITY METHODOLOGY requiring no material nor property collateral at a minimum interest rate. Over 2000 rural women served so far with a more than 98% recovery rate.    

                                                                                          

Credit on Wheels

COW includes village to village identification of projects of womens groups, provision of business advisory services and credit. We intend this 2008 to put all beneficiaries in each village into credit cooperatives and let them manage their own revolving credit cooperatives. That way it is sustainable                            go to top

Operation 100 Youths

The OPERATION 100 YOUTHS for a useful Holiday is an arm of the CREDIT AGAINST POVERTY whereby students are given credit to indulge in gainful activities during holidays at very low interest rates.  Loans are accessed to youths during holidays to keep them engaged in income generating activities while earning incomes.  Thereby creating jobs for themselves and raising some income instead of idling about during holidays.
