microlenders
Tiny sum financiers
Microlenders are financial institutions or organizations that provide small loans to borrowers who lack access to traditional banking—typically entrepreneurs in developing countries or underserved communities.
The loans, often just a few hundred dollars, fund small businesses or basic needs.
Microlenders helped village women start cooperative farms.
The practice is called microlending or microfinance.
