Amazing! It is too easy to loose sight of the actual transformational power of microfinance when only interacting with a website most of the time. To see and read what the entrepreneurs have to say and what a difference the loans make to their lives highlights that these are REAL people, making REAL and meaningful progress in their quest for prosperity!

Great Post Bala. I think you have identified another great benefit of United Prosperity’s guarantees over other direct lending models - The catalytic multiplier effect when you bring in one BIG Bank that breaks the logjam and motivates other banks to follow suit and lend to Ajiwika! This is huge! I am guessing our dollars have 10X to 20X worth of impact because of this. (2X thru the guarantee and another 4 - 5 times the amount thru 4 - 5 other banks participation).
