Local microfinance institutions (MFIs) make contact with families and offer loans, usually to women, to enable them to start or expand a business.These are very poor people who would not normally be able to get credit, but as no collateral (抵押品) is required they can get microcredits.They pay back the loan on a weekly basis, over six months to a year.A crucial aspect to the success of the microcredit system is that receivers get local support.The MFIs educate local communities about ways to improve their lives, and offer practical support as well as collecting weekly loans payments.They encourage people to help each other, so that the whole community can pull itself out of poverty.MFIs may also help with literacy and health problems.Microcredits are mainly given to women.Experience has shown that women are more motivated to improve their childrens lives and will spend the money they make on better nutrition and schooling for their children.This may be the first chance theyve had to contribute financially to the family, and their status in the home and the local community is raised.The microcredit system is not charity.The payments are fixedterm loans and interest is charged.The costs of making such small loans, collecting them and giving personal support are high.This is reflected in the interest rates, which range from 15 to 35 percent.Despite this, the repayment rate is very high, between 95 and 98 percent, showing that microcredit clients really value this opportunity to leave poverty behind.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。无需抵押,但要支付较高利息的小额贷款可以帮助最为贫穷的人创建或扩大自己的生意,提高生活质量。现在,世界各地成千上万的贫困家庭正在通过这种小额借贷的方式走出贫困。1Microcredits are offered to the poorest people around the world in order to _.Amake profits out
