Viwala is a debt provider for Latin American SMEs advancing positive social and environmental change and contributing to the SDGs. Co-founded by ProMujer and New Ventures, Viwala employs an impact-themed portfolio strategy that aligns funding sources, financial instruments, and measurable outcomes across three areas: social impact (poverty alleviation, healthcare, community resilience), environmental impact (conservation and sustainable development), and diversity, equity & inclusion (gender, LGBTQ+, and Opportunity Youth). Through blended finance, Viwala reduces risk for private investors, lowers borrowing costs for SMEs, and channels capital where it delivers the greatest impact.
