One of the challenges of microfinance is that many people don't trust the banks, they are afraid the banks might fold up and as such don't want to put there money into it (for deposits/ huge savings). Also some insincere customers take loans from the bank that is set to help them the poor but they refuse to pay back.

Actually you hear more and more about it and its also getting bigger and bigger. Just check out who won the last noble peace prize last year (http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laurea... or where Sequoia Capital (the VC behing Google, Apple, Youtube...) hast recently invested (http://www.vccircle.com/blog/_archives/2007/3/2...

RW, it's not more prevalent because the effectiveness varies depending on the implementation. However, there are some methodologies utilized that seem to reduce the likelihood of that the loan will be defaulted upon.
I'm a big believer in this approach (when executed properly). It is spreading slowly but surely; we simply hear little about because it's not as dramatic as building dams; the results are significant in the lives of the participants, though.
