“We are honored to be recognized for our commitment to women’s financial empowerment and being named Best Micro Finance Company Egypt 2024,” says Jinu Johnson, CEO and MD of Tanmeyah.

“I believe fervently in the transformative power of empowering women through access to financial resources. Women-owned businesses are engines of innovation and resilience, yet they often face systemic barriers to accessing capital. By offering lending products tailored to support women entrepreneurs, we not only stimulate economic growth but also foster social equity. It’s a strategic imperative that drives sustainable development and inclusion and contributes to the prosperity of communities and economies at large. In line with our steadfast commitment to advancing financial inclusivity, nearly 50% of our

clients are female entrepreneurs.”
This commitment extends to Tanmeyah’s workforce, of which approximately 39% arew omen.

This diversity fosters a vibrant and inclusive work environment. Tanmeyah prioritizes underserved regions like Upper Egypt and the Delta, where access to financial services is often limited.

This ensures all segments of society can participate in the economic landscape. Tanmeyah’s dedication to ESG principles and financial inclusion paves the way for a more prosperous and equitable future for all Egyptians.
