Focused on empowering women economically, these loans are exclusively offered to women entrepreneurs and heads of households to help them start or grow businesses.
Women, especially those in rural areas, interested in starting small businesses or income-generating activities are the Target Group here. In addition to providing loans, ARS-Bangladesh offers skills training, financial literacy, and business management support to the borrowers. This program has increased economic empowerment of women, improved family livelihoods, and enhanced social status for women within their communities.
