Microcredit

$31,774

This project is a project of Mobilizing Rotary for Microcredit

The project we have identified is located in the town of Shirali. Ten years ago, the tiny hamlets in Shirali in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, were like any of the poorer villages you find throughout India. There was no high school, no hospital, and not much hope for the people who subsisted there. Many men were lost to alcohol. Women had few means to provide for their families. The best and bravest of the young fled to the cities.

A renowned NGO called BAIF Institute for Rural Development is working on a holistic community development programme which includes microcredit financing. BAIF has a solid background in microcredit finance and has all the processes in place for assessment of loan requirement, deployment and recovery of funds, formation of Self Help Groups, and training programmes for the women.
