Complex approach

The “SABR” Socio-Economic Development Center operates in two main areas social and microfinance combining the activities of both programs.

This approach has proven to be very effective. SABR’s microfinance and social programs mutually reinforce one another, contributing to improving the well-being of low-income people, reducing poverty, increasing legal and psychological literacy, and promoting healthy lifestyles, thus strengthening the socio-economic status of the rural population.
Only through this approach can one speak of having a positive impact on the socio-economic position of the target groups.
