#DidYouKnow ❔ In #SouthAfrica, TUHF plays a key role in financing quality affordable #housing. Since its creation in 2003, TUHF has financed over 46,000 rental units. Its subsidiary uMaStandi operates in the townships of South Africa.
 
📣 Nomakhosi Makolota, Entrepreneur in the commercial property sector, has been able to develop a number of housing programmes in the country’s townships thanks to the support of uMaStandi. "I struggled for years to get funding until I came across uMaStandi. Without the uMaStandi teams, I would never have been able to do business in these areas, which are of no interest to traditional developers." 

🤝 In 2022, Proparco granted TUHF a line of credit in local currency equivalent to €10 million.

⚕️ En cette journée mondiale de la santé, où l’on célèbre l’accès à des services de santé de qualité pour tous, le programme original d’assistance technique financé par Proparco, HERhealth-RISE, est à l’honneur.

Four years ago, #COVID19 brought the planet to a standstill, leading to major economic difficulties in the years that followed. 

🇪🇺 In 2022, thanks to the support of the European Commission through the #EFSD Covid Response guarantee, Proparco was able to support AccèsBanque Madagascar, a commercial bank specialising in #microfinance.

#AccèsBanqueMadagascar was set up in 2006 with a strong entrepreneurial focus. It serves 40 000 clients with 50% hashtag #women via network of branches and over 600 employees.

The project thereby benefits support from the #EuropeanUnion, which has been strengthening its commitment to the private sector for several years.
 
The impacts of the project: 
✅ Access to microcredit for 3,450 beneficiaries 
📈 Support for 1,900 jobs
📊 Support for the financing of 85 SMEs
📂 Mobilization of EUR 2 million of private finance
