How Milaap works
Milaap and its field-partners (organisations
on the ground) disburse the loans to end
borrowers.
Lenders like you browse the
profiles of the borrowers and
lend through Milaap.org.
You can chose to withdraw the
accumulated repayment or to
re-lend and help another person thereby
continuing the virtuous cycle.
100% of the funds reach the
end borrowers who use it for
the specific needs.
The field partners collect the
repayments in monthly installments
which are then credited to your online
account on Milaap.org
