Microfinance loan programs are a powerful tool in breaking the cycle of extreme poverty, offering opportunities for individuals and communities to generate sustainable income and achieve financial stability.
Need:
One in three Africans live below the global poverty line which is currently $2.15 USD/day.
Poverty means daily hunger; child malnutrition; lack of access to clean water, shelter, and healthcare; little or no opportunity to go to school or learn a trade; constant fear for the future; and increased risk of exploitation and abuse.
Solution:
Microfinancing “the MPA way” challenges members to invest or save first, create a sense of community by helping group members overcome obstacles while managing income projects, and manage clear and fixed repayment terms.
