4.4. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
The researcher expressed his interest to conduct microfinance
impact assessment among VFC Ltd women clients and their path to economic
development. It has been recognized that VFC Ltd is doing an outstanding work
to ensure transformation of lives of poor Rwandan especially women who have
been covering behind economically due to political, social and cultural
barriers.
However, Rwandan academicians and the public alike do have
limited knowledge about intervention that VFC Ltd has been providing to bring
economic independent, pride, and confidence and build power in decision making
to the women clients.
