VisionFund Tanzania: Digital microloans, women entrepreneurs, and great success stories.
In 2023, Grameen Crédit Agricole supported VisionFund Tanzania , with a loan of 2 million euros. This microfinance institution improves the lives of low-income entrepreneurs by providing them with sustainable and inclusive financial services. These loans play a vital role in empowering women entrepreneurs, who represent nearly 60 % of their customers. Thanks to this funding, they develop income-generating activities, improve their living conditions and invest in the education of their children, thus unlocking the economic and social potential of the local community.
Digitalization is also a key lever for VisionFund Tanzania. Using digital tools, managers have simplified loan processes, made services more accessible, and improved operational efficiency. This innovative approach has made life easier for women entrepreneurs, particularly in rural areas, where 63 % of the customer is located.
Inspiring testimonies from women entrepreneurs illustrate the tangible impact of these loans: local job creation, increased family income, and increased self-confidence. These results demonstrate that microfinance, combined with digitalization, is a powerful tool for unlocking the economic potential of communities and sustainably improving quality of life.
