4,915,462 families in India and 1,119,662 families in Indonesia are currently accessing the small loans and financial services that can turn their business ideas into reality. With a sustainable income, these families can invest in the essentials—food, healthcare, sanitation, safe shelter, and education—that allow them to leave poverty behind for good.
