ABOUT GROOMING CENTRE
Promoting Financial Inclusion at the Bottom of the Pyramid
Grooming Centre is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) founded in December 2006 and registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) under Certificate Number CAC/IT/NO 24198. Its mission is to address the near absence of financial services for the large population of economically active poor people engaged in small trading and micro-productive activities across many parts of Nigeria.
The Centre emerged from the strong commitment of a group of microfinance practitioners dedicated to building a vibrant and high-growth organization poised to play a leading role in enhancing access to financial services for the poor. It operates as a membership organization, implementing a radical action program through a range of financial services delivered directly to its members.
Grooming Centre stands as a national institution with an international perspective, committed to mobilizing resources and offering financial services to the entrepreneurial poor who have little or no access to conventional forms of financial services.
The Centre ensures its viability and effectiveness by adopting global best practice approaches, inspired by ASA Bangladesh, a global market leader in microfinance services. This model was introduced to Nigeria through the UNDP-assisted MicroStart programme, reflecting the Centre’s commitment to excellence and sustainability in serving the needs of the poor.

Serviced Clients Since Inception
I am happy not only because I am financially empowered, but that many women’s lives are being positively touched by Grooming Centre through our union. My business is on track and I have been able to fulfill my lifelong wish.
The good thing about Grooming’s loans is that the repayment is well spread, making it easy to pay back. Also, the encouragement to save enables me to have personal savings for various needs.
Grooming Centre loans are very good compared to other microloans that I have tried before because of the simplicity in repaying them. Since I joined, I have had no cause to regret my action.
My business has taken a new dimension as I now buy my goods directly from wholesalers. The era of my children wearing tattered uniforms to school has passed. Grooming Centre has put a new song in my mouth.
