Welcome to the MicroLoan Foundation. We are a UK based microfinance charity providing small loans, business training and continuing guidance to groups of women in sub-Saharan Africa. The need for appropriate microfinance opportunities here - servicing the extreme rural poor - has been the driving force behind the development of MicroLoan since 2002. MicroLoan is committed to enabling families to become self-sufficient by financing and helping them launch their own businesses. Small loans provide women with the opportunity to buy goods in bulk to re-sell in the local market at a small profit. A modest increase in financial resources from money generated through a small business can improve a family's food security and support their children's education.
