AIM-ing to improve living standards and livelihoods

KOTA BARU: Generally, borrowers or ‘Sahabat’ (friend) from Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM) say they have successfully improved their living standards and managed to boost their income through the financial support provided by the national micro-credit organisation.

Motorcycle workshop owner Othman Yusof, 55, from Kampung Padang Raja, Melor, started his business about 20 years ago with RM3,000 in financing from AIM.
