According to DFC, the proposed loan will allow Fusion, a leading microfinance institution, to expand its microfinance portfolio serving women at the bottom of the pyramid in predominantly rural India.
The project is expected to have a highly developmental impact through the provision of loans to low-income women engaged in income-generating activities, as well as through the creation of hundreds of formal sector jobs. Fusion serves low-income women borrowers residing in India’s poorest regions, and its products are designed to meet their needs, especially those who were previously unbanked. Fusion also provides women borrowers with business, financial, and digital literacy trainings. In addition, the project will create hundreds of new jobs in states that are experiencing high levels of unemployment, emigration, and poverty.
