Friends of Women’s World Banking
-
www.fwwbindia.org
The International Women’s Conference held in 1975 at Mexico
City brought together women leaders from different parts of
the world. A group of women shared at that meeting that poor
women are economically active but do not have access to
financial resources to enhance their business. Women’s World
Banking (WWB) was created in 1980 to address this unmet need.
Friends of Women’s World Banking, India, (FWWB-I) is one of
the first few institutions created as an affiliate of Women’s
World Banking in 1982 with an aim to empower poor and
asset-less rural and urban women by improving their
participation in sustainable livelihood activities through
access to financial services. It is a non-profit organisation
with a vision to weave together threads of hope and security,
in the lives of women among the lowest rung of the economic
and social ladder through its Micro Finance programme.
During the initial seven years of its operations i.e. from
1982 - 1989, FWWB’s activities were limited to providing loan
guarantees for poor women in the state of Gujarat. Thereafter,
in 1989, FWWB’s leadership decided to extend its area of
operations and to promote micro finance in different parts of
the country. After an intensive study of existing
credit-delivery models, and best practices in micro finance in
India and neighbouring countries, FWWB started training NGOs
in setting up micro finance programmes. As a result of these
trainings, several NGOs initiated micro finance programmes
using a variety of credit delivery mechanisms. These NGOs,
however, were unable to access commercial funds for their
micro finance programmes in the early years. To make loan
funds available to these organizations, FWWB borrowed its
first loan of Rs.1.5 million in 1990.
