Covid Samrakshan Program

Revival loans for micro businesses

In partnership with Equitas Development Initiatives Trust, ASCF’s COVID-Samrakshan micro-entrepreneurial assistance program enabled small entrepreneurs, primarily women who were impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic to restart their small-scale businesses. The program included interest free loans and, in some cases, partial waive-off of the loan amount, bi-monthly re-payment option and a zero-balance savings account in Equitas Bank to instil the habit of saving money.
