Credit for Water and Sanitation Improvements. A Case Study of Women's Self-Help Groups in Tamil Nadu, India

In this case study we examine a program carried out in and around the city of Tiruchirappalli (Trichy), Tamil Nadu, India. This WaterPartners microfinance program was implemented by our partner organization, Gramalaya, a water and sanitation focused non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Trichy. The program involved the construction of water and sanitation facilities by mobilizing a network of women's self-help groups (SHGs) to utilize a revolving loan fund.
