With the conditions where life is expensive
and painful trying to have enough to eat,
we have to invest our small incomes in
health and this is even more punishment.
We don’t have a great way to get to the
hospital, but if someone can give us ideas
on how to prevent disease, we will apply
these tips and save our children and
ourselves.”
—PADME client, when asked her
opinion on the health education

“When you go to the market in the morning, you
never know what will happen. But when you have
the health savings and can get a health loan, you
have the security of knowing that if you have a
problem, you will be protected.”
—RCPB client
“Neither health savings nor health loans have
created extra work for staff. The health savings
accounts do not present more challenges or
difficulties than any other financial products at
RCPB.”

“Had I not received this health loan from

as well as my asset ... Bandhan brought

to spread this message of my immense
benefit….”
