Akhuwat: Potential For A Sustainable Islamic Interest Free Microfinance Model, Juliana S. Beall
Scripps Senior Theses
This study will examine if Akhuwat provides a sustainable Islamic interest-free Microfinance model for potential poverty alleviation.

Theoretical debates of sustainability and the recognition of donations, cross-market comparisons, and data from audit reports will validate Akhuwat’s potential for long term sustainability. Analysis also highlights the discrepancies that plague this opaque industry.
