COMMITTEE OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS

Supportive and organized

From the Microfinance program we promote the committees of women entrepreneurs, where financial products are aimed at groups of women in vulnerable situations to be used to strengthen some commercial activity or start a new venture. 

92% of our portfolio is made up of women and 77% is distributed in committees of women entrepreneurs

MICRO-FRANCHISES

Small businesses that strengthen microenterprises

Micro-franchises are turnkey business proposals that incorporate the elements of the franchise such as the products, the brand or the continuous technical assistance, but with a design that is simple enough so that they can be accessible to people with a low level of income, and that do not require a high investment. The purpose of implementing Micro-franchises for the members of the Committees of Women Entrepreneurs is to solve poverty indicators such as income above the national poverty line or income diversification.
