Projekt
Located in the Binh Chanh district of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, a hardworking woman runs her workshop with around twenty employees, primarily women. A well-planned loan helps this workshop run smoothly, allowing the owner to buy the necessary materials to prepare customer orders. The financing facilitates business growth and helps secure jobs, contributing to a steady local economy.
Vietnam's economy is on a path toward stability and gradual growth; however, access to bank funding is limited. This mainly affects small business owners who struggle with challenges such as strict rules, lack of funds, and outdated technology. Small business owners can overcome these challenges with a short-term loan from Funding Societies. Access to financing can create lasting, positive change for the more than 800,000 SMEs in the country.
What social return could your investment generate?
Your investment enables Funding Societies to give out micro-loans to 51 e-commerce, agriculture, and wholesale business owners in Vietnam.

Impact
Malé a stredné podniky tvoria približne 60 % HDP juhovýchodnej Ázie a poskytujú väčšinu pracovných miest, ale čelia nedostatku finančných prostriedkov vo výške 320 miliárd USD. Funding Societies sa zapojil do preklenutia tejto medzery a za posledných päť rokov poskytol viac ako 815 miliónov EUR prostredníctvom viac ako 3 miliónov podnikateľských úverov. Zameriava sa na krátkodobé úvery, zvyčajne do 12 mesiacov, ktoré sú prispôsobené potrebám MSP.
Vplyv ich úverov je významný. Približne 76 % MSP využíva ich úvery na prevádzkový kapitál. Mnohé z nich priznávajú, že toto financovanie bolo nevyhnutné na udržanie ich podnikov v prevádzke a udržanie pracovných síl. Okrem toho stránka Funding Societies podporuje ekonomické posilnenie žien tým, že podporuje podnikateľky, ktoré tvoria 24 % ich dlžníkov.
Investovanie do Funding Societies na Lendahand podporuje finančné začlenenie a sociálnu mobilitu v juhovýchodnej Ázii, presnejšie v Indonézii a vo Vietname. S Funding Societies, môžete prispieť k regionálnemu rozvoju a skutočne zmeniť životy ľudí.
