Microfinance:
a key component of
BOP interventions

“Sustainable access to microfinance helps alleviate poverty
by generating income, creating jobs, allowing children to
go to school, enabling families to obtain health care, and
empowering people to make the choices that best serve
their needs. Together, we can and must build inclusive
financial sectors that help people improve their lives.”
Kofi Annan UN Secretary-General
1997-2006

This is the story of Chinnaponnu…
Chinnaponu dropped out of
school when she was 10 to work
in the paddy fields.
She married a farmer and
continued to work in the rice
fields.
This could have been her only
story. But it changed.

Presentation Topic
Chinnaponnu’s story….
Today, Chinnaponnu also has a buffalo, which has
helped her family income increase to
Rs 1,500 per month.
At 44, she has learnt learnt how to sign
her name.
She has learnt about savings and
manages her SHG finances.
The family has built a new home.
They can now afford private healthcare.
Chinnaponu talks to strangers now; she has
learnt new ideas. She feels she has a
purpose in life beyond work and family.

Key components of Hand in Hand’s strategy based on
business concepts of organisation and management
 Far-reaching decentralisation, individual accountability
 Clearly quantified goals for productivity, emphasis on quality
 Low overheads: administration costs low at 6%
 Creating enthusiasm among employees, a ‘buy-in’ to our vision
 Successful scale-up: use a good and simple model with high
standardisation, focus on growth
 Harness market forces- tie-ups with private & public sector
Presentation Topic
Challenges we face
• Finding committed qualified professionals with integrity and passion
willing to work with grassroots level functionaries.
• We have to struggle for funding as an NGO; cut costs; yet maintain
quality.
• We have to deliver results. Provide reports and feedback. Maintain
stringent evaluation standards.
• We need to work with cultural sensitivity across nations/regions.
• We have to always find newer and more effective delivery models.
• We must maintain alignment with mission and avoid mission drift with
increase in spread and size.

Editor's Notes

  • #7 The current scenario in India.
  • #33 For starting our work, we need to know what exactly CSR is. We understood that the underlying idea is Gandhi’s statement.
  • #34 Why is CSR a buzzword in today’s business environment?
  • #35 The current scenario in India.
  • #36 The current scenario in India.
  • #37 So, we identified the reasons for the depressed mood in the Indian charity market.
  • #38 Now that we know which sectors to penetrate into, we developed a methodology to help companies begin their CSR activites.
