What We Do

Home / Who We Do

We catalyze micro loans to provide transformational economic opportunity for unbanked rural women in Latin America that fosters economic mobility out of poverty long term.

AN APPROACH GROUNDED IN TARGETING THE ROOT CAUSE

Identify and Fund

We work with global partners to locate rural women, unbanked, isolated from financial services, and in Latin America who would benefit from a stimulation of a micro-loan to escape poor economic health and then mobilize to fund a micro loan for them.

Entrepreneurship

With the micro loan, borrowers will use funds to buy resources like seeds, sewing machines, farming tools, food stalls, baking resources, animals, store stock, fabric, fertilizer, and more. They will use these resources to open up garment services, farms, food stalls, stores, and more.

Attain Supportive Income

After using the resources to open up services in their communities, they will have a supportive long term source of income that enables them to pay back the loan and sustain themselves out of poverty many years afterwards. Their service and climb out of poverty will bolster the economy and development of their region. They will better be able to afford vaccines, education, and regular food for their children.

We support women because when women are lifted up, they world is lifted up.

In the developing world, women's influence in various spheres, from education and healthcare to entrepreneurship and community leadership, is essential for driving sustainable development and breaking the cycle of poverty.

Millions of women are trapped in poverty traps across Latin America due to low access to financial services, many are unbanked. Because of this, many will never leave poverty unless we can give them an injection of micro finance to change the trajectory of their economic future and develop the region from the roots up.
