Ecuador > Fundacion D-MIRO Mision Alianza

The Norweigan Missionary Alliance (Misión Alianza de Noruega) is an NGO that was founded in 1901 and began working in Ecuador in 1994. It operates in-country as a registered NGO, with its headquarters in the coastal city of Guayaquil. In October 1997, the organization established a microcredit program entitled the Programa de Microcreditos D-Miro, with its central office in the marginalized area of Isla Trinitaria in the southern part of Guayaquil. D-MIRO has a network of nine offices in the Guayaquil area, and they provide over 30,000 borrowers with credit services.

Their target markets are families and microentrepreneurs that have been marginalized from the traditional financial system for different reasons (culture, sex race, poverty, etc). In 2006, the Misión Alianza’s credit program spun off to form its own NGO focused solely on microcredit services.

Vision: D-MIRO’s institutional vision is to be a national organization, based on the gospel of Jesus Christ, that compels and promotes the diaconal life to restructure the Ecuadorian community.

Mission: D-MIRO’s mission is to be a microfinance institution that contributes to the improvement of the quality of life in marginalized areas of Ecuador, providing agile and opportune services that reflect confidence in our clients, based on Christian values that evidence God’s love.
