The World Bank

"In 1997, the World Bank loaned $37 million to help finance ILD's work. This loan has helped over four million Peruvians become part of the formal economy, and has created close to $6 billion in assets simply by getting property registered, titled, and valued. As a result, banks have been increasingly willing and able to make loans to applicants whom they had previously turned away because of the inability to verify asset and income data."
