Påvirkning
SMV'er udgør ca. 60 % af Sydøstasiens BNP og skaber de fleste arbejdspladser, men de står over for et finansieringshul på 320 mia. dollars. Funding Societies er trådt til for at bygge bro over dette hul og har finansieret over 815 mio. euro gennem mere end 3 mio. erhvervslån i de sidste fem år. Deres fokus ligger på kortfristede lån, typisk under 12 måneder, som er skræddersyet til at opfylde SMV'ernes behov.
Virkningen af deres lån er betydelig. Omkring 76% af SMV'erne bruger deres lån til arbejdskapital. Mange anerkender, at denne finansiering var afgørende for at holde deres virksomheder åbne og bevare deres arbejdsstyrke. Desuden fremmer Funding Societies kvinders økonomiske selvstændighed ved at støtte kvindelige iværksættere, som udgør 24 % af deres låntagere.
Investering i Funding Societies på Lendahand fremmer finansiel inklusion og social mobilitet i Sydøstasien, mere specifikt i Indonesien og Vietnam. Med Funding Societies kan du bidrage til regional udvikling og gøre en reel forskel i menneskers liv.
