Just occasionally, a charity comes along with great independent evidence that it makes a difference.  So, we know that your support will significantly reduce child malnutrition and transform lives.   Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.

Rojiroti UK supports microfinance (very small loans) for poor and marginalised women in India. We currently reach more than 100,000 women and their families.  The innovative Rojiroti approach to microfinance relies on self-help groups, run by women from the community. Our very low cost model allows us to work with much poorer groups than other providers.  Arandomised control trial  led by medics from the University of Nottingham shows that child malnutrition is much lower in villages with Rojiroti microfinance (Ojha et al 2020)

Loans get used for various things, hear from some of the women involved:
A wonderful thing about Rojiroti loans is that more than 99% get repaid and operating costs are covered by interest payments, which means that every year more very poor women and their families can benefit.  However, we are overwhelmed with demand for loans.  So, any help you can give will be really appreciated.
