Abstract
As the communities most affected by the
recent devastating tsunami courageously begin to rebuild
their lives, microfinance institutions (MFIs) can play a
powerful part in the path to recovery. Since the immediate
aftermath of the tragedy, MFIs have been tirelessly
providing and coordinating emergency relief, and a few are
beginning to help local communities reconstruct homes and
return to economic activity. MFIs provide the appropriate
range of emergency and longer-term assistance to their
clients, while helping both MFIs and donors ensure that the
ultimate mission of the MFI to be a sustainable provider of
financial services is not compromised.
