Why is WILFund for women?
In many cases, women are financially responsible for their families, yet traditional lending institutions often overlook them because they do not possess collateral or a credit history. In developing countries, WILFund empowers these women by providing opportunity in the form of a loan they would not have otherwise, with the intent to help them become self-sufficient. World Vision’s experience in microenterprise development has shown that giving loans to women is a good investment. Not only do women demonstrate a high loan repayment rate, but they also consistently use their extra income to benefit their children and families. Investing in women can help lift an entire community out of poverty.
