SAVE Microfinance, a member of the SAVE Group, has successfully acquired $3 million in funding via non-convertible debentures (NCDs) from Impact Investment Exchange’s (IIX) women’s livelihood bond 7 (WLB7). This infusion of capital will be directed towards broadening outreach to underserved communities, focusing particularly on low-income women entrepreneurs by improving their access to affordable credit and livelihood opportunities.
