Micro Credit Facility
CCF Micro Credit Programs: Crediting Their Cooperation
Since poverty is a major cause of child labour, increasing family income by other means enables families to stop depending on the work of children. As part of its multi-pronged strategy to combat child labour, CCF in collaboration with ILO and other agencies in the past launched ‘Income Generation Schemes’ in Sheikhupura and Faisalabad.
CCF initiated two Micro Credit Programs: one with First Women Bank in Sheikhupura and the other with Punjab Rural Support Program (PRSP) in Faisalabad. CCF provided data on target groups and regions to these institutions for facilitation of their decisions in extending micro credit.
In Phase-1 of the Program, First Women Bank provided micro-credit worth Rs. 9, 88500 to 627 families of 62 villages of Sheikhupura district with average of 11,000 per beneficiary. The recovery rate was almost 100 percent in the first phase.
In the Phase-2 of the program, micro-credit worth Rs. 1,312,000 was provided to 109 families of 10 villages of Sheikhupura district with an average loan of Rs. 12,000 per family. In this phase the recovery rate of loan from beneficiaries was 99.79 percent. CCF ceased its micro-credit programs for some time, intending to undertake a more innovative program to provide maximum benefit to the parents of enrolled students.
