Al Tadamun Microfinance Foundation

Al Tadamun Microfinance Foundation started in 1996 as a Group Guaranteed Lending and Saving pilot project developed by the Egyptian field office of Save the Children USA, in partnership with the Women’s Health Improvement Association (WHIA), which is a local NGO. The project was designed to meet the needs of underprivileged Egyptian women micro-entrepreneurs who needed a source of finance to set up, sustain, and expand projects, thus generating more income for their families.
