Rustam Buriev started his farming business many years ago.
In 2013 he applied for his first loan at Finca Tajikistan, with the purpose to help finance the expansion of his garden.
The enlargement was much needed for him to be able to grow more fruits, rice and wheat.
Subsequently he managed to grow his business and payback the loan amount.
Rustam decided to apply for a second loan and even a third one, which enabled him to also purchase livestock and thereby grow his farm further.

Why Enabling Qapital?

Because of its commitment to creating and supporting companies and institutions that empower the poor and provide environmental and financial solutions to some of the world’s problems.

Why Enabling Qapital?

I believe in impact finance but not all financing is in the best interest of the client. I am glad to be part of an organization that values client impact and is willing to say no when the client’s interests are not served.

MRS LUCIA RICO SUCCESS STORY

Growing up with her two siblings in the town of Trento in the rural province of Agusan del Sur in the south of the Philippines, Mrs. Lucia always dreamt of running her own business. She started her business with a tiny stall to sell her handmade baskets and figures made from rattan palms. After struggling with bankruptcy in 2015, she moved her business and began to look for capital. This was only the start of a long and hard journey for this microentrepreneur to fulfill her dreams and be independent.

In the beginning, Muhammad Shoiab’s mobile textile business generated only a very little revenue. It was so little that he was not able to send his children to school. Nonetheless, Muhammad believed in himself and his business and decided to apply for a loan at ASA Pakistan limited.

Why is it that Microfinance funds remain comparably stable throughout international crisis or economic downturns? Where does the low correlation with the financial markets come from?

Why Enabling Qapital?

I was excited to be part of something new with a group of talented individuals with a renowned name in the impact investing industry. We all share a common goal as we plan to implement innovative initiatives that can help the most vulnerable people in the world.‍

Why Enabling Qapital?

As I have been part of the impactinvesting community for over 10 years, I can say that EQ is truly delivering microfinance in its purest form and therefore enabling real social impact. I am truly excited working with such highly qualified and especially dedicated team.
