Small loans, big impact: our microfinance programme
How MASYAP’s small loans help vulnerable women and young mothers feed their families, start businesses and stay healthy.

MASYAP’s microfinance programme is a lifeline for vulnerable women, young mothers and others facing hardship. We offer small loans with a big purpose: helping women take control of their lives.
How it helps
- A start in business: a small loan can start a business, cover essential costs or pay for education, and give women hope and a real chance to thrive.
- Stronger families: with an income, women can provide food, clothing and shelter. When a mother can put nutritious meals on the table, the whole family benefits.
- Better health: we encourage a balanced diet. For women on antiretroviral treatment, good nutrition helps the treatment work and strengthens immunity.
Who we reach
MASYAP’s programmes reach more than 3,000 women, including:
- widows
