We loan because...
We want to inspire entrepreneurship in people, specifically women in the 3rd world. If we empower people to create their own destiny, they can take control back in their life. If we can empower women to be business leaders in their community they will by default become community leaders. They will have a say... and they will make a difference.

About us
We believe in people. That the best way to raise someone out of poverty is to give them a chance to work. When there is no work to be found we need entrepreneurs to create solutions to local problems, thus creating the work that can improve lives. We believe our efforts and loans empower those entrepreneurs to rise up and make a difference.
