Pakistan has over 3,000 Microfinance NGOs which provide financial services to low-income people in Pakistan. These organizations are the only option for many of the country’s poor who have limited or no access to banks and other formal financial institutions. The microcredit system is designed to help these people by providing them with small loans that they can use at their discretion for any purpose. However, it’s important that you’re careful when choosing a microcredit NGO in Pakistan because there are also many less than reputable ones out there!
