Finance Resources: SMEs Support

We hope to work with micro-finance institutions and community-savings associations to increase access for individuals and small and medium enterprises to finance and resources such as credit and investment. We are looking for funds to train and support widows and vulnarable youths who do not have access to banks, to establish and run savings and loans associations. Projects such as this can increase women’s economic independence, and status within the family and community. Access to markets There is no point in having goods to sell if there is no one to purchase them. Rusken Charitable Foundation will work to help markets work as well as possible for vulnerable populations. We look forward to help agencies to design and implement emergency programmes that respond to people’s immediate needs while helping local economies to recover. Strengthening institutions As well as working directly with individuals, communities and small businesses Rusken Charitable Foundation looks forward to work with governments and non-governmental institutions to improve the business environment. Private and public sector investments are used to improve infrastructure, business processes and market linkages.
