Our Growth
We began lending to rural grassroots businesses in 1999 because we saw a pressing need that was not
being met—namely, access to affordable credit for sustainable enterprises that stimulate economic
growth and environmental stewardship in the developing world. We have honed a model that channels
capital to these businesses when they need it most while mitigating the risks that have kept them
isolated from mainstream financial markets for so long.
