Microfinance

WWGC Youth Leadership Program participants applied their executive skills to raise funds for sustainable enterprises collaborating with Asia Initiatives, a NY social impact powerhouse, where loans are given to groups of people, mainly women, from rural villages. With access to capital, these people have proven themselves to be successful entrepreneurs, developing and expanding small business ventures of handicrafts, papermaking, garment production, and entrepreneurship. They encourage creativity and entrepreneurship by enabling villagers to develop business ideas and submit them to our Micro Enterprise Capital Marketplace. WWGC youth leadership generated funds by doing concerts, garage sales, raising sponsorships and organizing art festivals for employment by providing financial support for innovative small businesses.
