An MFI Tests Health Savings and Health Loans to Address Clients’ Healthcare Needs

The Réseau des Caisses Populaires du Burkina (RCPB), a federation of credit union networks, is the largest MFI in Burkina Faso. RCPB’s mission is to improve the living conditions of its members and the greater community by applying principles of solidarity and individual and collective responsibility. RCPB mobilizes savings, offers a range of profitable credit products, promotes appropriate and accessible financial services for all, and is committed to democratic administration and management. RCPB introduced health protection services to its microfinance clients in April 2007 as part of the Freedom from Hunger Microfinance and Health Protection (MAHP) initiative.
