We provide small loans to groups of women across sub-Saharan Africa. The need for appropriate financial services in the rural and poor parts of sub-Saharan Africa has been the driving force behind the development of MicroLoan since 2002. MicroLoan is committed to enabling families to become self-sufficient by financing and helping them launch their own businesses. Small loans provide women with the opportunity to start simple trading businesses, to set up food stalls, buy a new sewing machine or breed goats for example. A modest increase in financial resources from money generated through a small business can improve a family's food security and pay for their children's education. Microloans results in asset creation, employment generation and economic security.
