Our Programmes
Entrepreneurship training, financial advisory, accessible and affordable business credit, and skills development, delivered as one connected support system.
Business support brought to the doorstep
Four connected services that meet the needs of a woman's business at every stage, from her first loan to a thriving enterprise.
Business Capital
Accessible, affordable micro-credit for women-owned businesses, disbursed and repaid where they trade.
Learn moreFinancial Services
Savings, financial advisory and simple money-management tools for households outside the banking system.
Learn moreSkills & Entrepreneurship Training
Practical workshops on pricing, record keeping, stock and customer care that raise productivity.
Learn moreBusiness Advisory & Development
One-to-one guidance and rural development support that help small enterprises plan, grow and scale.
Learn moreMicro-credit that meets women where they trade
Conventional finance rarely reaches women running stalls, kiosks and home-based enterprises. Our client officers assess, disburse and collect in the market itself, so a loan never means a lost day of trading. Facilities are sized to the business and priced to be repaid from its cash flow.
Savings and advisory for the household economy
Alongside credit we help clients build a savings habit, separate business money from household money, and plan for school fees, rent and stock. Financial advisory is delivered in plain language on the client's own terms.
Practical tools that raise productivity
Short, hands-on sessions cover pricing and margins, record keeping, stock management, customer care and using a mobile phone for business. Every module is built around the realities of micro-trade rather than the classroom.
Support that continues as businesses scale
As a business grows, its questions change. Our advisors work one to one with clients on expansion, hiring, supplier relationships and formalisation, and extend the same support to rural communities through our rural development work.
Every step of a woman's business journey
Our support is holistic by design. Each stage builds on the last, so no woman is left to grow her business alone.

Businesses that grew
Behind every loan is a woman, a stall, a workshop or a kitchen, and a family whose future is changing.
"The first loan bought a second freezer. Now I supply three restaurants and my daughter is back in school."
"I learnt to keep records and price properly. For the first time I know what my business actually earns."
"They came to my shop. No bank ever did that. Today I employ two other women from my street."
