Village Savings & Loans Association's methodology was born in the late ‘90s in order to serve poor marginalised people without a regular income.
VSLA plays an important role in meeting the needs of families, giving them the access to small amounts of local capital on flexible terms, and the possibility to transact such loans frequently at very low risk and negligible cost.
