MicroInvest
Microfinance (Social)
MicroInvest has been issuing loans to small businesses and cooperatives since 2003. Youth unemployment is very high in Moldavia, which is why MicroInvest also focuses on this target group. The microfinance sector is not very highly developed and only a few institutions are active, but demand is strong. The loan it has received from Triodos-Doen will enable the institution to further expand its customer base.

- number of loan clients: 6,848
- percentage female clients: 55%

Microfinance
Whoever you are, and wherever you live in the world, you are likely to want permanent access to financial services. Microfinance banks play a crucial role providing access to finance to an increasing number of people living on low-incomes. We finance microfinance institutions because they help to build inclusive financial sectors, where the majority of people have access to financial services, leading to a sustainable basis for balanced social and economic development.
