Chemonics International
Small loans provided with the support of a USAID-funded microfinance project in the Philippines helped fishermen like this one buy boats to fish at sea instead of from the shore where fish are scarce. This particular project, the Microenterprise Access to Banking Services program implemented by Chemonics, has helped Philippine banks issue more than $320 million to 457,000 of the poorest Filipinos.
