Gata Daku Multi-purpose Cooperative (GDMPC)
Status Update - 29 July 2019:
Kiva staff visited this partner in May 2019 and the liquidity situation remains very challenging for Gata Daku. However, there is a possibility that the organisation will be able to survive this crisis and we will continue to monitor the partnership closely with the hope of recovering funds and returning these to lenders. For now, Gata Daku remains paused and cannot fundraise new loans on Kiva.
Status Update - 10 August 2018:
Gata Daku is currently 3 months behind on repaying funds owed to Kiva lenders and as such, Kiva has decided to pause this partner’s ability to post new loans to the Kiva platform. Unfortunately, Gata Daku is currently experiencing a cash flow issue because there are competing demands from its creditors for repayments, causing liquidity challenges and preventing the organization from repaying Kiva lenders. Kiva is actively monitoring Gata Daku’s evolving financial situation and will continue to follow up with the partner in an effort to recover payments due. We'll provide additional relevant information to lenders as it becomes available.
Gata Daku Multi-Purpose Cooperative (GDMPC) was founded in 1992 by 32 farmer-members to empower people by providing livelihood opportunities and other support services. Today, it has over 15,000 members located in upland, lowland and coastal regions of the Philippines, and offers credit, savings, education, and various social services.
The organization offers loans for business investments, housing, emergencies, education, travel, special events like weddings, microloans, salary loans and several different agricultural loans for inputs, livestock and working capital. On top of that, it provides savings accounts for regular depositors, young people and for tuition funds.
In addition to financial products, GDMPC also helps farmers and fishing families access business-boosting technologies and procure necessary inputs.

Annabelle used her $125 loan to buy more inventory for her corner store.

Marciano took out a $700 loan to buy fertilizers and plant more rice.
