Empowering Sri Lankan women entrepreneurs with accessible micro loans for business initiation and expansion, fostering financial inclusion and community upliftment.
The Women’s Empowerment Micro Loan program is dedicated to fostering economic growth and autonomy among Sri Lankan women. It specifically targets groups of females eager to establish or grow their businesses but are hindered by limited access to traditional banking services. The program invites the formation of ‘Centers’, which are solidarity groups consisting of 9 to 30 female members. These Centers act as communal guarantors and support systems, enabling members to borrow collectively and support one another’s entrepreneurial endeavors. Through this initiative, members can not only receive financial support but also benefit from shared knowledge, networking opportunities, and enhanced visibility within their communities.
