Indonesia > Family Business Partners/Ganesha (MBK)

Status Update: MBK temporarily has placed its partnership with Kiva on hold as Kiva develops new administrative features that will strengthen Kiva's internal partnership management systems. MBK - as an organization that focuses on serving the very poor of Indonesia - has been and continues to be an excellent partner for Kiva and its lenders. Kiva is working diligently to create new features that will enhance our ability to more effectively select and monitor future MFI partners, and we look forward to re-establishing our partnership with MBK in the near future.

“Mitra Bisnis Keluarga” (MBK) stands for “Family Business Partners”. MBK is a non-bank financial company (NBFC) regulated by the Ministry of Finance and with a venture capital license issued in November 2006. Using the classic Grameen Bank methodology, MBK provides working capital to low-income households in Indonesia in order to raise their family incomes and living standards.

MBK took over the microfinance activities of Ganesha Microfinance Foundation, which operated from 2003 to 2006. During this period Ganesha reached a total of just under 30,000 clients through a network of 15 branches in two rural districts close to Jakarta (Kabupaten Tangerang and Kabupaten Bogor). MBK has been a proud partner of Unitus since December 2006
