Background on FINER:
Financial inclusion is a deliberate program to ensure individuals and business persons to have access to useful and
affordable financial products and services that meet their needs, transactions, payments, savings, credit and
insurance delivered in a responsible and sustainable way. Despite this laudable programme, most poor and business
people in the world still lack access to sustainable financial services, whether it is savings, credit or insurance. The
great challenge before us is to address the constraints that exclude people from full participation in the financial
sector. It is on this basis as well as to support World Bank Group to achieve Universal Financial Access 2020
initiative as well as to make contribution toward attainment of SDGs Goal 1 and 8 respectively that IDEE is
establishing business loan.
Next level group was formed in March 2017 in Tudun –wada community of FCT Abuja Nigeria. The group began with
ten people and they unanimously choose Mrs. Mary Adekule as their leader whereas the group has no secretary.
After prospected them some met the requirement to access IDEE loan but some didn’t however the group leader
insisted and financial was provided to all of them in march and by august 2017 the ten beneficiaries completed their
first loan cycle without default and had taken second loan also thirty people were registered into the group and
presently next level group has forty members some were in third loan cycle, second and first.
She paid her daughter’s school fees, supported family feeding and diversified into selling of sewing materials
(thread, needle and lining).
“I thank IDEE because the loan has given me a shop at a strategic place and people are patronizing me than when I
was at my former shop. This had helped me to have plenty clients and I am making more profit than before’
Next step
She needs more money to expand her sewing material business.
Suggestion:
Because she invested the first loan and having completed the first loan cycle successfully, she should be given second
loan.
