Micro-Loans for Women in Nigeria
Small, flexible loans that help women in Abia State start or grow a business and support their families.
WOMEN'S MICRO-LOANS
Helping Women Turn Ideas Into Income
Many women in rural Nigeria already know the business they could run: selling food at the market, tailoring, farming or small trade. What they often lack is a small amount of money to get started.
Our micro-loan program offers soft loans, small loans on flexible terms, so women can start or grow a business and become financially independent. When women earn, families eat better, children stay in school and communities grow stronger.
OUR APPROACH
How the Program Works
Share a business idea
Women in the communities we serve tell our team about the business they want to start or grow.
Receive a small loan
Participants receive a soft loan sized for their business, on flexible terms.
Build the business
With encouragement from our team, women put the loan to work and start earning.
Help the next woman
As loans are repaid, the same funds can help more women in the community.

WHY IT MATTERS
Why We Invest in Women
Women are at the center of family life in the communities we serve. They feed their children, pay school fees and care for elders. Giving a woman the means to earn is one of the most direct ways to lift a whole household out of poverty.
Micro-loans also build confidence and independence. A woman with her own business has a voice in her family and her community.
