ASPI administers very small “micro” loans to the working poor, in support of their small-scale enterprise and business operations. Loans are guaranteed by a self-selected group of borrowing members, who meet regularly to manage their finances with the support of a trusted CBA. During meetings, participants receive training in entrepreneurial skills, cost control systems, and leadership development, so that they are better able to grow successful businesses and repay their loans. ASPI's clients can choose from a variety of diverse, market-driven products, such as savings, loans, and agricultural equipment and support.
