REMITTANCE LOAN

People living abroad for work frequently send money to families living at home. Often these expatriates are the sole bread-earner of the family. History and recorded observations have seen delay in the process of transfer of remittance either because of the transfer of funds or even financial crisis faced by the sender. This often creates desperate scenarios for the families counting on the arrival of the funds. SAJIDA Foundation classifies the loans given at these circumstances as Remittance loan.
