It is the Vision of the TYM Fund to be A leading provider of financial services to low income women and their families. Rooted in the Vietnam Women’s Union and combining social responsibility with professional staff excellence, TYM wants to be a model of best practice for microfinance institutions in Vietnam.
Background:
The TYM Fund was founded in 1992 by the Vietnam Women's Union in order to help implement the poverty alleviation programme of the Government. It was originally a replication of the Grameen banking model adapted to the specific context of Vietnam. Along the process of development, TYM has received financial and technical support from a number of international organisations such as ACT (Japan), CARD, OXFAM America, SBFIC (Germany), CORDAID (Netherlands), and others. Today TYM is a leading and one of the few sustainable microfinance institutions of Vietnam. TYM provides savings and loans to more than 45,000 women members and insures, via its Mutual Assistance Fund (MAF) more than 130,000 people. TYM operates 44 outlets in 10 northern and central Vietnamese provinces from Phu Tho to Nghe An. In addition to financial service, TYM provides its clients education, advice and social activities, assisting women not only to overcome poverty, but also to play an active role in their communities.
Challenges:
TYM Fund has applied to register with the State Bank Of Vietnam as a licensed microfinance institution under Decree 28/165. In a difficult environment, TYM has the goal to further professionalise its operations and expand its outreach to many more poor women, thus creating a model for microfinance in Vietnam. This will require training of staff, organisational improvements, upgrading its MIS and tapping additional funding resources. Hide
