SAMRUDHI Micro Fin Society Update & Renewal for Asha fellowship SAMRUDHI is a responsible civil society to work with the rural & urban poor women to reinforce their efforts to rise, remain, above the poverty line. SAMRUDHI believes that the poor are bankable ; they have credit discipline, and they have potential to improve income and productivity and can make profit. Mission SAMRUDHI s mission is to empower the poor and underprivileged to become economically self-reliant by providing cost effective and need based financial services in a financially sustainable manner Vision SAMRUDHI s vision is to provide financial services to 50,000 poor households in India by 2015 and to become most preferred livelihood service provider in its operational area Achievement Particulars 2008-09 2009-10 No. of villages/slums 11 25 No. of Centers 11 30 No. of Groups 52 100 No. of Members 260 1130 No. of Loan Clients 280 470 No. of Loan Officer 2 8 Total Loan Disbursed 14,05,000.00 22,06,000.00 Cumulative Loan Disbursed (Rs) 14,05,000.00 68,31,000.00 No of loan disbursed 280 455 Total No. of Loan Disbursed 280 1500 Total Loan Outstanding (Rs) 8,07,700 19,49,214.00 No. of Clients per Staff 90 90 Repayment Rate (%) 100% 100% Portfolio at Risk (PAR) 0% 0% % of women borrowers 100% 100%

Case Studies 1. Devaki Devaki was borrowing US$5 (Rs.200) from the money lender on daily basis from money lender to buy vegetable and at the end of the day she used to pay US$ 5 plus a commission/interest of US$ 1 (40 INR). The interest rate that is being charged to Devaki was 180% /annum. More than 80% of her earning was going to the money lender. She could not save enough for her family. She took US$ 66, a first microloan from SAMRUDHI to invest in her vegetable business. Now, she does not go to money lender & avoids paying exorbitant interest. She reinvests the amount in her business & earns Rs.100-150 every day. She enjoys being in a group with women who have become her good friends. Now she wants to setup her own vegetable shop and raising funds on Unida Vida at (http://www.unidavida.org/projects/view/20) 2. Shainaz Begum Shainaz Begum s situation was tragic because her husband left her soon after marriage. After separating from her husband, she was unable to manage on her own therefore she moved into her mother s house. There was no one to earn at her mother s house too and the life was tough for her. She came to know about SAMRUDHI & its credit Program. She joined SAMRUDHI s group & availed Rs. 5000/- loan to invest in seasonable businesses, such as mango, banana & grape sales. Now she wants to setup her own fruit business shop and raising funds on line at http://www.unidavida.org/projects/view/22

Events & Participation The Development Dialogue is the premier event of the Deshpande Foundation. Launched in January 2008 in Hubli, the Development Dialogue occurs in both Hubli and Lowell. The foundation conducts a Development Dialogue every year and invites individuals as panelist & Speaker. Mr. Sanju Kumar has been invited as a speaker at Development Dialogue (http://www.deshpandefoundation.org/engage/events/northwest-karnataka.html) Presentation at Rotary Club of Gulbarga Mr. Sanju Kumar has come in contact with Rotary Club of Gulbarga and has been invited by Rotary Club to talk on Microfinance/Micro Credit. There is a discussion going on between Rotary Club of Gulbarga & SAMRUDHI for possible partnership to implement few selected projects. Give India Workshop at Hyderabad The workshop was mainly to focus on fundraising on Give India website using various social on-line media. It helped to learn a lot to make more effective use of Give India on line platform to raise funds for a cause (http://www.giveindia.org/t-ngonewsletter-june-2010.aspx).

New Partnership: 1. ANANYA Finance for inclusive Growth Pvt.Ltd,. ANANYA Finance formerly FWWB is an India based lending agency for Microfinance Institutions. ANANYA has sanctioned Rs. 1 million in the month of January, 2011. ANANYA is a part of World Women Banking (FWWB) with a vision to empower rural & urban poor through Microfinance institution. Many MFIs in India has grown tremendously with the help of ANANYA. We had to wait for three years to get funding from this institution due to various reasons & changes in Indian Microfinance sector in the last two years. 2. UnidaVida: UnidaVida is a Netherlands based online fund rai sing platform. Unida Vida raises funds for both development and microfinance projects in India. SAMRUDHI has signed agreement with UnidaVida and raising fund for two projects- Health & Livelihood- low cost Sanitary Napkins for poor women (http://www.unidavida.org/projects/view/21) & Microfinance Project of SAMRUDHI (http://www.unidavida.org/projects/view/20). 3. development and microfinance projects. New Projects: SAMRUDHI has initiated two new projects viz Low cost sanitary napkins for the rural & urban poor women & Livelihood Promotion through Integrated Farming System 1. Low cost sanitary napkins for the rural & urban poor women. Menses is one of the most taboo subjects in India, inducing a culture of shame and silence. Women commonly use all kinds of clothes (rags, rejected cloth) as a sanitary

napkin in rural & slums in India. Many a time, women in slums dry their napkins behind the doors and remove it (even if it s wet) before the male members come and use it again with dirt & moisture, that leads to vaginal infections, skin irritations and other sexual diseases. The worst affected are adolescent girls, who rely mostly on their peer groups for the very limited half-baked information, they have. While there are studies connecting lack of sanitation facilities in schools to absenteeism/drop out of girls, there is very little research and policy debate on the significant role this one factor plays in the dismal scenario. The much-talked about issues like RCH, safe motherhood, infections having multi-fold consequences, all have direct linkages with the napkin problem. Sanitary napkins that are practical, affordable and environment friendly are still on an experimental level in most parts of the country. Therefore, SAMRUDHI has initiated a project on Health & Livelihood; a Low Cost Sanitary Napkins for rural & urban slums women. The objectives of the project are to promote awareness on Reproductive Health and Reproductive Tract Infections, to change the behavior of women and adolescent girls to use sanitary napkins, to produce quality sanitary napkins by trained rural women and enhance their income, to market them through the women self help groups. 2. Livelihood Promotion through Integrated Farming System. Small holder farmers must try to produce food, feed, fodder, fiber, fuel, etc., on a small piece of land. Under such conditions, one alternative is to integrate more than one enterprise on the same piece of land. The integrated farming systems helps to improve the economic conditions of resource constrained farmers and provide better opportunities for employment in the agriculture sector. Most small and marginal farmers traditionally have dedicated part of their land to grow food for their family s consumption, in addition to growing for the market. Now land is increasingly devoted to crops grown solely for the market, leaving the family with little or no homegrown food. We look forward for seed funding for these two projects.

Renewal of Fellowship The fellowship was initially for two year. SAMRUDHI is still marching towards financially self sustainable. Therefore, I request for renewal of fellowship. The past & future plan-to be financially self sustainable. Due to Andhra Pradesh crises followed by economic crises has affected a lot for the fund flow of SAMRUDHI. SARURUDHI s proposals were pending at various levels with few banks. Also, most of the lending agencies changed their funding criteria that are number & size of the microfinance institutions. For, instance, ANANYA (FWWB) used to fund a start up MFI those having professional board of directors in earlier days but in 2008-09, they have changed it that the MFI must exist for three years, should have minimum of 1000 clients and must have at least 50 lakh outstanding and so on (Finally, we have partnered with ANANYA (FWWB) from January, 2011). After SKS IPO, the AP Govt has introduced a money lending act which has affected cash flow of most of the MFIs. Banks have turned down to release the funds. There was not even a single loan sanctioned from the banks to MFIs in the last few months. After Malegaon Report (Malegaon Committee is a committee appointed by RBI to study Microfinance issues & give recommendation ) luckily, they have addressed the core issues of MFIs and in favor of MFIs thus RBI has directed all the banks to continue the funding. Now, slowly, the banks are picking up the pending proposal and the sector is hoping to get sufficient cash flow in the coming months. Secondly, we are yet to reach breakeven (Please find the attached financial statements). This is mainly because of volume. More the volume; more the profit. Our current staff strength can handle up to 150 lakh portfolio but they are underutilized due to small portfolio.

Will it be sustainable in the next one or one and half year? ANANYA finance for inclusive growth has funded SAMRUDHI. Now, getting term loans from other banks becomes quite easy. Also SIDBI follows ANANYA s clients thus we do get funding from SIDBI. We are hoping to raise 150 lakh in the financial year 2010-11 which leads SAMRUDHI to be self sustainable. Name Amount Expected Remarks 1 ANANAY 10+40=50 Lakh 10 lakh (10 lakh already released) 2 SIDBI 25 Lakh First Loan 3 IDF 50 Lakh Third Loan 4 Syndicate Bank 25 Lakh First Loan Total 150 Lakh Budget The budget requested for the coming year January, 2011 to January, 2012 (12 months) is Rs. Item Particulars Total Fellowship Rs.13000 pr month*12 months 1,56,000/- Work Related Exp Rs.2000 per month*12 24,000/- Total 1,80,000/- Therefore, I request Asha Berkeley to renew my fellowship for another one year. ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
