  • Mahila Milan ("mujeres unidas" en hindi) es un colectivo autoorganizado y descentralizado de mujeres que viven en las aceras de Bombay. El grupo trabaja con temas de vivienda, saneamiento y esquemas de préstamos de base. Su objetivo es lograr que las mujeres reciban el mismo reconocimiento por la mejora de sus comunidades, mientras se dedican a importantes actividades de toma de decisiones.​ Los préstamos otorgados por el grupo a sus miembros en tiempos de necesidad, se sancionan a nombre de la mujer de la casa.​ El interés del préstamo es fácil. Mahila Milan cobra el 2% de tasa, una "Tasa (tributo)" de dos rupias por cada cien rupias. Su proceso de recuperación también es bastante simple. Las mujeres visitan la casa del deudor del préstamo. Si parece que realmente no están en condiciones de devolver el préstamo, les otorgan otro préstamo para que se recuperen y se aseguren de que con el segundo préstamo la familia se mantenga a flote. Si el hombre de la casa muere o inesperadamente queda postrado en cama por enfermedad, se cancela el préstamo. Estas mujeres, que han visto muchos casos de sufrimiento, se apresuran a simpatizar y actuar.​ (es)

It aims at gaining women equal recognition for improvement of their communities, while indulging in important decision making activities. The loans granted by the group to its members in times of need, are sanctioned in the name of the woman of the house. Mahila Milan call the 2% interest charged levied, a two rupees ‘service charge’ on every hundred rupees. For their recovery process, the women visit the house of the loan defaulter. If it looks like they really are in no position to return the loan, they give them another loan to get them back on their feet and ensure that with the second loan the family stays afloat. If the man of the house dies or is suddenly bedridden with sickness, they write off the loan. These women, who have seen more than enough of their share of grief, are quick to empathise and act. (en)
