Across the world, many women lack access to education, property and financial services. As a consequence, women also make up the vast majority of the world's poor.

Microfinance programmes target women to contribute to poverty alleviation and promote women empowerment.

Providing credit to women has a positive impact on the living conditions of the women, their households, their community and it improves their social status and decision-making power.
