โœ” 75%+ loans used for income generation
โœ” Over half repaid through business income funded by the loan
โœ” 78% borrowers contribute to household income

This shows that microfinance is driving income generation, supporting local enterprise, and strengthening household cash flows, not just meeting short-term needs.

What stands out further:
โœ” 97% borrowers report regular savings
โœ” 84% have credit-linked insurance

Together, this reflects a deeper shift:

As incomes become linked to enterprise activity and supported by savings and insurance, households are better placed to absorb shocks, manage risks, and sustain livelihoods.
