Who we Help
People on all sides benefit from participating in MiFiMentor. Here’s who, and how:
- Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) gain better access to business and financial resources, leadership skills and collaborative approaches to problem solving
- Village Entrepreneurs experience successful business growth through real-time coaching, basic business practices, leadership support and increased access to resources
- The employable poor have greater access to jobs, skills development and income
- Villages will ultimately gain a stronger commercial infrastructure, and experience broader awareness and advocacy of their needs
- Social capitalists & technology firms benefit from direct knowledge of real-time needs, enabling them to create better solutions for emerging markets
- Microfinance organizations build stronger relationships between their stakeholders and partners/constituents, thereby strengthening engagement with their brand.
- Mentors have the ability to learn and contribute simultaneously, creating a greater a sense of purpose and building awareness of emerging markets.
