Our mission is to empower women and their families to break the cycle of poverty through accessible, affordable, locally-based microloans.
We envision a more equitable world where women are financially empowered, families are economically stable, and extreme poverty ceases to exist.
We are currently supporting entrepreneurs in 6 countries: Haiti, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic, Ghana, Kenya and Uganda. Since 2010, we have provided over 2,000 loans to entrepreneurs to build their own businesses and we consistently demonstrated that an investment in individuals can improve the quality of life of their families and their communities.

Your support unleashed
Our programs are based on the microfinance model developed by Muhammad Yunus through the Grameen Bank. The Grameen Bank was founded on the belief that the very poor have unlimited potential, and unleashing their creativity and initiative can help end poverty.
