Programme Description
Microfinance is about providing financial services to the citizens not financially buoyant, i.e., low-income micro enterprises and households, which are traditionally not served well by the conventional financial institutions. It is the provision of a broad range of financial services to low-income micro enterprises and households.
The range of credits to this category of clients includes Loans, Insurance, Leasing which are characterized by small value collateral. The clear focus is on poverty reduction, through income and employment generation.
