GH Trust Cluster / Group Loan

Empowering market women and small-scale traders through collective financing.

The GH Trust Cluster / Group Loan is designed to support market women, cooperative groups, and small-scale traders who work together to grow their businesses. Many small traders operate within trusted networks or market clusters where members support each other financially and socially.

This loan model uses group-based lending, allowing traders to access financing collectively while encouraging accountability, cooperation, and responsible repayment within the group.

By working together, members can access capital to buy goods, increase stock, expand their trading activities, and improve their income stability.
