The Grameen Bank model has a borrower in a circle of 7-8 receive ~$40, immediately repay $4, then pay $4 weekly for 9-10 weeks, ending at $44 total — roughly 20-24% interest — which is expensive but far cheaper than a moneylender, and the group structure provides culturally appropriate enforcement.
