MISSION AND VISION
Vision
We are a not-for-profit organization devoted to helping an increasing number of poor Filipino families rise out of poverty by providing microfinancing to help them establish or otherwise improve their own microenterprises. This shall result in increased family incomes and savings, while giving them greater access to life support goods and services in the most cost-effective and sustainable manner. Communities benefit as well from the goods and services provided by our micro entrepreneurs.

deliver the highest value for money, client-responsive microfinance as well as supplementary products and services to the poor through the enterprising women of each family;
-
create the best place to work in, where all staff members have the chance to live in dignity, develop a career path and experience the fulfillment of changing other people’s lives as well as their own;
-
be self-sustaining and be the best managed microfinance institution in the Philippines.
