Microcredit
ARD’s microcredit initiative provides essential financial services tailored to rural entrepreneurs who typically lack access to conventional banking systems. The program extends small loans coupled with savings support mechanisms to stimulate economic activity at the grassroots level. With 4,800 loans disbursed to date, the program strategically targets agricultural development, small-scale trade operations, and women’s entrepreneurship. This focus on financial inclusion has proven instrumental in reducing poverty, increasing household income, and fostering self-sufficiency among participating communities.
