Microfinancing Center

This is a microfinancing center in Karambayam (ran by a sister subsidiary of our organization, IFMR). People from this village come here to get small loans.

It's a small kiosk with the bare essentials. There is the board that posts different loan products. And a flasher (please leave a comment if you know what that black machine that flashes messages is called) that shows the gold prices so that people know they are being given a fair price.

Here is a scale for measuring the gold or jewelry.

The healthcare kiosk that IFMR is launching is modeled after these microfinancing kiosks with many twists and adaptations.
