The study involved getting some personal information like age and the nnmber of children supported by the clients to make it easy to understand their status and it was found out that most of them had small families but still found problems in catering for their needs The study also found out that most of the clients were small business proprietors represented by 92%! ' of the sample with only 8% employed people. This showed that the institution was succeding in targeting small businesses. Further still it was found out that the services provided by the institution had gone a long way making small business people succeed using the loans and at the same time improving the standard ◊1 living of their families and the community at large. I I I Although the institution was achieving its objectives and empowering women by giving them acces~ to finance,training and improving the way they take decisions both at home and in business,the client~ had some problems like;high interest rates, short repayment period,and many others which needed th4 attention of their institution.
