1 ARTF RESULTS STORIES 2016 Small Enterprise Loans Help Women Grow Businesses in Balkh Province Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund
2 SMALL ENTERPRISE LOANS HELP WOMEN GROW BUSINESSES IN BALKH PROVINCE Micro and small businesses in Balkh Province are being given the opportunity to expand as a result of a government initiative to provide them greater access to financial services. The initiative, the Microfinance Investment Support Facility for Afghanistan, aims to develop a viable, inclusive financial sector for the poor, and underserved micro, small, and medium enterprises. It is supported by the International Development Association and Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund. 2 2
3 FORTY-YEAR OLD ZAHRA is arranging plastic flowers and beads in a newly built room in her house. She carefully separates the flowers and threads them with the beads, arranging them artistically. The floor of the room is full of colorful flowers, threads, and beads. Zahra used to work as a tailor, but stopped sewing when she learned about the First MicroFinance Bank Afghanistan (FMFB-A). I got an initial loan of 50,000 afghanis, ($850) from the First MicroFinance Bank Afghanistan two years ago. It was a great help to me, I can make a livelihood now, says Zahra. The loan from FMFB-A has enabled her to make plastic flowers and sell them at the market. Zahra, who lives in a seven-member household in Yaka Bagh village in Dehdadi district, Balkh Province, has been deprived of education like other women in the village. She cannot read and write, but ambition has made her a hard-working and clever flower maker. It gives me a very good feeling that I make and sell my own products. When I see that people buy and use my products, my self-confidence goes up further, says Zahra, a mother of five It gives me a very good feeling that I make and sell my own products. When I see that people buy and use my products, my self-confidence goes up further. Zahra, entrepreneur, Yaka Bagh village children. After starting the business, she took another bank loan of 100,000 afghanis ($1,700) to expand her enterprise. Zahra s access to credit was made possible through the Microfinance Investment Support Facility for Afghanistan (MISFA). MISFA aims to contribute to Afghanistan s economic growth by developing a viable, inclusive financial sector for the poor, and the underserved small and medium enterprises. It has received financial support from the World Bank s International Development Association (IDA) and Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) since With MISFA s support, the FMFB-A, which operates in 13 provinces, is able to offer financial services to smaller businesses, which would otherwise have difficulty in securing loans due to their size. The FMFB-A began offering financial services to its customers in Balkh Province in 2007, and has attracted 2,500 active customers, providing a total of 92 million afghanis ($1.5 million) in business loans. Women make up more than one third (35 percent) of its customers. Most of the beneficiaries of the bank s loans were in difficult economic circumstances and have managed to change the course of their life through these loans. The bank has provided a good platform for those who want to expand their small businesses, according to Mustafa Khayber, FMFB-A Branch Director in Balkh. In addition to providing financial services to customers, the FMFB-A offers advice for improvement of the customers businesses, he says. It also facilitates exchange of expertise and ideas in every aspect, particularly in marketing, between its old and new customers. 3 3
4 Women s products win more customers Zahra used her loan to import raw material from overseas to make the flowers. She has also taught the craft to younger women as well as encourage other women in her neighborhood to work and make flowers for her. Many women in her neighborhood earn an income by making flowers. They sell their products in a market in Mazar-e-Sharif city, the provincial capital, after converting the raw material to garlands, bouquets, and flowers for home decoration. Even others in the trade admire their products. Women, particularly Zahra and her colleagues, make beautiful and attractive flowers. All of our customers like their handmade products. They have even found customers in the neighboring provinces of Samangan and Kunduz, says Ahmad Mir, who has a wholesale flower store in Shahzada Market in Mazar-e- The women are honest in their business transactions and their products win more customers. Ahmad Mir, flower wholesaler, Mazar-e-Sharif city Sharif city. He adds that the women are honest in their business transactions and their products win more customers. Zahra pays the school expenses of all of her children from her income, something that few women in Afghanistan are able to do. Although Zahra s work has progressed well, she has a greater ambition and says that this time she wants to borrow an even larger loan from the FMFB-A so that she could grow her business even further. 4 4
