JLG Micro-Loans

Collateral-free loans for women who borrow together in a Joint Liability Group. Members know each other, vouch for each other and repay together at their monthly centre meeting. A Radhya officer comes to the village, so no one has to travel to a branch.

A group of women from the same village who each take their own loan but stand by each other’s repayments. Group support, not collateral, is what makes the loan possible.

Groups from a village meet a Radhya officer every month at a fixed place and time to repay, ask questions and learn about managing money.
