Microcredit is the practice of distributing very small loans to people who have a very low income as a means of poverty alleviation, global aid, and development. Microcredit is a subset of the broader category of microfinance, which includes all financial services such as insurance and money transfers. The very poor often do not have access to any financial services, and microcredit enables individuals to borrow for a profit‐making enterprise, in hopes of beginning an upward spiral out of poverty. One hundred and fifty million people have participated as borrowers in microfinance programs
