Loans

Microfinance loans empower women and men to rise above the barriers of poverty and build strong futures for themselves, their families and their communities. 

You can enable entrepreneurs who are living in poverty to start or expand their own businesses by helping fund a MEDA Trust loan. Choose a loan from any of our loan categories. Whether the entrepreneurs are involved in operating a grocery store, growing a garden or sewing clothing, they have so much potential. 

	Retail Loans in the retail sector help women and men develop trade-based businesses in their local communities – businesses like bookstores, dairy shops, clothing stores and small grocery marts.
	Service Recipients of service sector loans run businesses that provide essential services to their communities. Many recipients go on to run successful small restaurants, tailoring businesses and workshops.
	Production Women and men who have talents working with their hands receive much-needed support from a production sector loan. Carpet weavers, bakers, seamstresses and artisans are all able to grow their businesses through these loans.
	Agriculture For many, a small garden or farm is the perfect way to enter into the world of business. Many families already have plots of land they cultivate – a loan helps them purchase equipment that boosts their yields and their income!
