Micro-Credit From Yayasan Bina Upaya Darul Ridzuan (YBUDR)

I read in the papers that Yayasan Bina Upaya (Perak), or Capacity Building Foundation, is giving out micro-credit financing to eligible applicants to uplift their livelihoods. I may be wrong but the target group is Bumiputera women in rural areas. Such financing is interest-free and the sums could be anything from RM5,000 to RM10,000.

I think this is an excellent idea to help participants to set up a small business. Although the loan amounts may be small, considering that prices of everything keep increasing, it's still good seed money. After all, it's interest-free.

Last month, I had the opportunity to check out the products of women in the programme and I have to say that they are really creative. With enough support from the government, I am sure they will be able to lead a better live.
