Guilgal Cooperative was created in 2012 in Kinshasa as an initiative of the Chairman of the Microfinance Chair of the Protestant University in Congo, Professor Kalala. In 2020, the MFI converted into a company limited by shares. The MFI offers several products such as group loans, individual loans, deposits, and various green microfinance loans, including for clean cooking products. Since its inception, Guilgal has expanded its reach and now provides services to more than 70k depositors and borrowers through a network of nine branches.
