Guidance-Charity Microfinance

Hi I'm a newbie looking for some guidance
I have been looking for a solution for a small microfinance institution in Sierra Leone.
It gives loans to small groups of traders.
However it wants to ensure that all inviduals are registered and issued with mifare ID cards.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any id card system or extension that has been integrated with CiviCRM?
Or any other guidance as to how to approach this?

Cheers,

Sallia

I would add a custom field set to the contact type to store the ID card number and anything else you need about the card such as validity dates etc.
If a person can have more than one card over time then make the custom field set a multiple entry set.

Create a subtype of organization for "Trader Group" and create relationships from the people to the Trader group so you can track their dates and people can belong to more than one group.

When saving a grant given to a "Trader Group" you will need a custom hook to make sure all the people related to the group have a current ID card.
This should only be about 50-150 lines of custom code - depending on how complicated you make it.

You may also want a custom report to show:
Grants > Trader Groups > People > Card IDs
