Group
loans replace collateral as a form of guarantee. A self-selected
group of clients guarantees each other's loans with the
understanding that no one in the group will receive a
new loan until each member's previous loan is repaid.
Solidarity guarantees work by linking new loans to on-time
repayment of past loans. TPC offers three different group
