Viwala

At Viwala, we believe meaningful change begins when small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are empowered with the tools they need to grow with purpose. We were founded with the mission of expanding access to financing for businesses across Latin America that generate positive social and environmental impact, contributing in tangible ways to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Through our Mar + Invest portfolio, we channel capital toward companies that protect oceans, water resources, and coastal ecosystems, supporting market-based solutions that strengthen environmental resilience and improve the well-being of the communities that depend on them. By providing specialized financing, we help businesses restore marine ecosystems, promote sustainable practices, create economic opportunities for coastal communities, and actively contribute to coral reef conservation and overall ocean health.

The company featured in the photo, Tide Ocean Material, reflects this vision in action. Dedicated to cleaning beaches and collecting sargassum and marine waste, the company transforms environmental challenges into solutions with measurable positive impact. Their work helps keep coastal ecosystems clean, protect marine biodiversity, and support local livelihoods, while advancing a more circular and sustainable economy.

With your support, Viwala can continue financing companies that care for the ocean, strengthen communities, and help build a more sustainable future for all.
