Its a worthwhile cause. Enough to earn one of the pioneers of this microcredit concept a nobel peace prize back in 2006.

answered earlier.. The interest rate you get is 0.00%. The rates are set by the local field partners and the interest goes into running the operation. Typically rates range from 9% to 25%. That sounds high by our standards, but for small loans in developing countries, it is not out of the ordinary. They've got to hit the right balance between affordability and making enough extra to compensate for those who default. Given that the repayment rate to lenders is 98%+, it's obvious they've struck the right balance. |
