Walk for Team India


Come, join us in Walk for Economic Empowerment, being organized by PEER Servants

Why Micro-finance?
Micro-finance organizations are sometime the only financial services option available to the poorest of poor, who lack collateral, steady employment, credit history, education or access to commercial banks. For e.g. the India partner of PEER Servants lends starting loans as small as 25$ to large number of clients (active clients > 20000) in WestBengal, India. Visit our India Partner website to know more about them.
A 25-50$ loan for short repayment time (10months) can make such a difference for these entrepreneurs/survivors. With a repayment rate of 98% in India, the loan capital gets reused & impacts so many.
