What is a typical loan size for a HOPE client?
Loan sizes can vary significantly by country. HOPE typically provides microloans ranging from $50 to $2,000 to people living in poverty. This capital is enough to develop a small business to help a family meet their needs including food, schooling, and housing. HOPE has also begun to provide some larger loans, identified as SME, or small and medium enterprise, loans. These SME loans are used to support larger businesses to further accelerate their growth and enable them to expand employment opportunities in their communities.
