Capital Impacts
Learning
Improving school infrastructure, such as upgrading buildings, adding windows for light and ventilation, or expanding classrooms to reduce overcrowding, helps students focus and learn better.
Health & Safety
Loans fund the construction of bathrooms, hand-washing stations, and other vital water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities often missing in schools, enhancing student health and safety.
Sustainability
Loans are short-term (1-3 years) with at-or-below-market rates. Repaid principal is recycled by lending partners to loan to more schools, achieving a 98% repayment rate.
