Introduction to MicrofinanceHalf the world lives on <$2/day

Microfinance is the provision of financial services to the poor

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

The Traditional Microfinance Lending Process

Microfinance Institutions

Entrepreneurs

Banks and NGOs

• Microfinance institutions typically get the money that they lend, from banks or non-governmental organizations, or both

• This can be expensive, as it is often borrowed with interest• There may also be difficult application procedures to access

debt capital from non-governmental organizations• Some organizations can even find themselves shut out due

to the region they operate in, particularly post-conflict regions

• Restrictions that microfinance institutions face ultimately affect the entrepreneurs, who rely on microfinance institutions to serve them
