WLB Series Highlights
“A loan of US$ 680 from a WLB portfolio company helped me purchase more materials and
expand my store. Due to the loan, I now earn an additional US$ 170 per month, and I am also
able to save 50% of my increased income. I want to use these savings for my child's
education and ensure that my daughter graduates from college. This is my 11th loan from the
portfolio company, and I plan to take more loans in the future to further grow my business.”
Angela, a microfinance borrower in Indonesia
“I have been supplying rice to a WLB portfolio company for 5 years. I am grateful for my
stable income, and with access to training programs provided by the company on organic
and sustainable rice farming, now I have increased my yield per harvest by 20%. By working
here, I am also able to increase my income by receiving a larger value of premium, and I am
finally financially resilient enough to sustain myself and my family.”
Bopha, a farmer working in the sustainable agriculture sector in Cambodia
I used the loan from a WLB portfolio company to expand my business and employ over 15
employees. My income has now increased by 25%, and I can finally pay the school fees for my
three daughters. I can fulfil my dream of seeing my daughters graduate high school, and
watch them grow to be successful in life. I have also taken a water and sanitation loan to
build a latrine in our home. This saves me 2 hours a day on average, which I can use in
focusing to further grow my business”.
