Mission

Global Partnerships is dedicated to expanding opportunity for people living in poverty.

In Latin America today, an estimated 140 million people live on less than $2 a day and more than 44% live below their country's national poverty line. Global Partnerships is committed to providing opportunity for people living in poverty including those who are often left out, like the rural poor and women.

Helping the poor to help themselves
Microfinance is a proven, market-based solution that helps people to help themselves. Access to microfinance has a profound effect in the lives of borrowers and their families. A loan as small as $100 can give someone living in poverty the boost they need to start or expand their own business, a key to a better life. As their enterprises grow, borrowers are better able to feed their families, send their children to school and access basic health care. Global Partnerships supports the expansion of microfinance by investing capital and management expertise in microfinance institutions (MFIs), which in turn make financial and other services available to people living in poverty.

Global Partnerships is an officially recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
