The study addressed the following research questions: What are micro-financial service providers that operate in Mvomero District?

This facilitates facts findings and generalization on wide population. The methods used in the field were mainly in-depth interviews (IDIs), semistructured interviews and survey questionnaire. For secondary data reports, books and records were also used to supplement the primary data. The major findings show that there was inaccessible of MFI’s services in rural areas due to various factors such as poor infrastructure, negative perceptions toward microfinance institutions, high cost and risk of operating and acquiring services scattered low population in rural areas, low population that resulted in little profit and others like negative perception of community about microfinance services, as well as low collateral values.
