We leverage mobile to provide credit and to distribute tailored financial literacy content to women and adolescent girls who own micro-enterprises in Africa.
Our customers are members of locally registered groups of between 10-25 members based on their business type (mostly common business type in close proximity). The loan products are issued to individuals but membership and continued participation in the registered groups is a prerequisite.
