You might have heard about the wonders of microfinance for helping poor people start or expand small business. Many think microfinance means simply small loans but it more broadly describes financial services to people who have low incomes or do not have access to typical banking services. In recent years, various groups have been using microfinance (which includes village saving and loan groups) to help people get access to water and sanitation in developing countries.
We have compiled a small list of resources, sorted by type: case study, guidance, lessons learned, program description, research, and toolkit. This is not intended to be comprehensive. Click here for the list of resources [updated 1-28-16].
If you have other related resources or descriptions of your programs that you would like to share, please contact us or share in the comments section.
