A federation of credit unions in Mali, Kafo Jiginew is the largest microfinance institution in the country. Since its inception, Kafo Jiginew has sought financial self-sufficiency while serving the poorest families and specifically the women of Mali.
In 1995, Kafo Jiginew began providing loans to cotton farmers, linking their operations to Companie Malienne de Developpement et de Textiles (CMDT), Mali’s quasi-governmental cotton manufacturer. This relationship allows Kafo Jiginew to lend to cotton producers and guarantee their repayment through CDMT. These “Cotton Loans” constitute 75% of Kafo Jiginew’s loan volume.
In 1996, Kafo Jiginew partnered with Freedom from Hunger by implementing the Credit with Education program which provides women with small business loans as well as weekly classes on health and nutrition. This program was discontinued in 2002. Hide
