While the communities we serve in India and Pakistan are similar in terms of demographics, population density, religious denomination and male-female relationships, certain differences remain.
In Pakistan, we observe tighter community relationships and therefore smaller group sizes. This is offset by the custom in the microfinance sector in Pakistan to have monthly group meetings and collection, whereas weekly group meetings remain more common in India and Sri Lanka.
