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.

WorldWise Microfinance measures both the success of our programs in terms of money circulated, but also assesses improvements in quality of life of our loan recipients.
Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. Give a woman microcredit, she, her husband, her children and her extended family will eat for a lifetime.
