Grameen Microfinance
Partnered with Grameen Pilipinas Microfinance Inc, Grameen-style microfinance with training and mentorship helps small business owners to start and grow businesses as a way out of poverty.
Through partner Grameen Pilipinas Microfinance Inc, we give aspiring entrepreneurs in the Philippines an opportunity to establish and grow successful businesses, combining microfinance with training and mentoring to ensure long-term success.
Grameen Pilipinas Microfinance Inc (GPMI) models its approach after the teachings and successes of Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh, targetting the poorest of the poor and playing on their strengths to become successful micro-entrepreneurs.
Marginalised communities are often excluded from mainstream micro-financing and other services, meaning they never get the opportunity to reach their full business potential. Dana Asia seeks to reduce social inequalities to bring equal opportunities to all, regardless of background.
GPMI strives to become a leader in “green microfinance”. Working with Dana Asia, GPMI is developing a variety of eco loan products, such as eco agri loans and education loans, that are specifically aimed at setting up demonstrably sustainable businesses or improving educational opportunities.
