The achievements of MIDAS over the past years are certainly impressive. With its innovative credit programs the organization has created many new entrepreneurs who have been able to use their talents and creativity. The support services have significantly enhanced entrepreneurial and management skills to create well-informed, confident businessmen and businesswomen. Not only have employment opportunities increased along with new types of business, MIDAS has been able to transfuse a high degree of professionalism amongst its clients. There is still a wide scope for development of thousands of such small and micro enterprises. MIDAS is financially self-sufficient and has been able to maintain

in terms of its services. Now it is time to expand its programs. There are many talented individuals with good business sense who need capital and support services in order to set up businesses of their own. One of MIDAS's biggest constraints is the smallness of its working fund from which to provide credit to micro enterprises on easy terms. MIDAS believes that job creation through the promotion of small and micro enterprises is the best way to combat poverty. The organization's main goal is, therefore, to provide more and more credit facilities and other services to micro enterprises and thereby help more and more people become financially independent.

Developmental agencies at home and abroad, who desire to make a real contribution to poverty reduction in Bangladesh and see virtue in the promotion of small and ultra-small enterprises to generate employment to that end, have the best option in Joining Hands with MIDAS.
