Multidimensional
poverty

We analyze household wellbeing in depth, assessing the deprivations they face

What do we want to achieve?

To understand the entrepreneurs’ households along multiple wellbeing dimensions, over time

To link this information with our value proposition: products and services that meet these needs

Partnership with SOPHIA Oxford

This enables us to create
a multidimensional poverty index adapted to our clients

The definition is based on nine indicators that capture three dimensions of poverty:

Households with deprivations, by indicator

Percentage of households with deprivations

The surveys show that the deprivations most commonly suffered by our entrepreneurs are the number of years of schooling, inadequate sanitation and limited access to water.

  • There are also shortfalls in their housing materials and internet access
  • 24% of households are in multidimensional poverty

Post-COVID
realities

To mentor, support and reactivate

We support reactivation as a way of achieving our mission

Good quality, sustainable microloans
We adjust our loan policies progressively so that they match the new realities, supporting them as they grow and recover in an orderly fashion, in a higher-risk scenario.

We provide solutions for the hardest-hit clients

Moving forward without leaving anyone behind
To provide the most appropriate and sustainable solution, we analyze each case, adjusting our methodology to the different rates of recovery and the maturity dates of the posponed loans. We have also designed new, more flexible payment terms

We adapt to a new, changing scenario

Scaling our support capacity with new tools and infrastructure

  • We develop and incorporate new standardization and digitalization tools into our systems in record time.
  • We make full use of technology to manage our clients’ needs.
  • We reinforce the management of operational risk and business continuity.

We are mentoring and supporting the hardest hit clients with tailor-made solutions that enable them to meet their obligations even when their activity has contracted

Resilience &
Digital poverty

In the wake of COVID-19, we are measuring the resilience of entrepreneurs and their digital poverty

Resilience *

We have seen that microentrepreneurs are capable, not only of overcoming adversity, but of emerging stronger. We want to optimize that resilience and see whether we can mentor people better as they move on:
  • Validating clients’ progress/recovery
  • Assessing the sustainability of their business adaptations
  • Assessing interest in financial/non-financial solutions
Identify resilient profiles and how to accompany those who are not
*Resilience is the capability to overcoming adversity and emerging stronger.

Digital poverty

The concept of digital poverty endeavors to establish the minimum use and consumption of ICT, as well as the income levels needed to be able to afford it. It assesses two dimensions:
  • Connectivity, plus
  • Affordability
