Credit is increasingly a key element in development strategies. For urban women
it can have a dual effect of helping small businesses to grow and stabilising
family incomes. In Sri Lanka, however, appropriate affordable credit is not
always available to women. This is in spite of the fact that women are often the
most reliable borrowers. This article outlines the most widespread Sri Lankan
sources of credit and highlights the potential of informal credit in providing
basic programming principles. These are illustrated here in the example of the
Siddhartha Path Women's Mutual Help Group. ![](_themes/nature/narule.gif)
