In a small but significant event, the Women’s Micro Bank (Mama Bank) celebrated the 2025 Women’s International Day last Friday. During the event, the Women’s Micro Bank presented certificates to mothers who participated in their Financial Literacy Training (FLT) and included success stories from four mothers who have become successful in their small businesses and human development programs through Women’s Micro Bank assistance. Mama Bank Chief Executive Officer Mr. Gunanidhi Das said that Women’s Micro Bank belongs to the mothers (mamas) and he is happy to hear success stories that the bank is actually helping mothers in the country. Mr. Das said that the important thing is that mothers or any customer know the position they are in now (financially) and out of 100%, they may have 5% or 10% and if they believe in that 10%, they can build something. “I am inspired to hear these success stories from these mamas, most of the time we only see the finish product and we do not know what really happens at the backend. I am happy that these mamas were able to get help from mama bank and are here telling us their stories,” Mr. Das said. Four of the mothers who shared their success stories encouraged the other mothers to learn how to save money and improve their saving culture instead of spending. “I came to Mama Bank and asked for a loan to help me with my small business. I planned that within the next few months of getting the loan, I will make sure I repay my loan, and I did,” one of the mother’s said. Another encouraged them all to develop their mind and the way they think towards running a business saying, “As a small business owner, you must learn to put money into good use that will have profit and not just spending. “You have to put your money to proper use where you can see the profit,” she added. After the presentation of the certificate, they celebrated International Women’s Day and congratulated every participant.
