WE BELIEVE that the best way to help poor people escape poverty is by building sustainable, locally-owned institutions and businesses that are not dependent on charity for survival.
WE VALUE innovation, and promote entrepreneurial and business-oriented solutions to poverty. Like the visionary entrepreneurs who founded MEDA in 1953, we are willing to take risks to test new ideas that have potential to help poor people improve their lives.
WE SERVE the working poor. Most of the world's poor today are employed-working hard, but just barely getting by. Many of them own their own small businesses. They do not need food, clothing or shelter. What they need is a loan, or marketing or technological assistance, so they can improve their businesses and increase their incomes. This gives them more money to spend on their families, grow their businesses and enrich their communities.
WE HELP by removing obstacles that prevent poor people from improving their businesses and their lives. These obstacles include lack of affordable loans, lack of investment, and lack of access to technological and marketing assistance. In North America, one of the main obstacles facing low income people is a lack of affordable business training programs. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
