How does your tribute donation empower women?

The Unitus team are experts at unlocking growth. Instead of taking $5 and passing it on as a $5 microloan, Unitus invests donor dollars in strengthening our microfinance partners; we help these “banks for the poor” remove barriers to growth, improve efficiency, and raise additional capital through outside sources.

Our bottom line: We believe that more efficient organizations with more capital results in more loans for more of the world’s working poor. Ultimately, we believe that this model unleashes the tremendous potential of the human spirit and gives hardworking men and women the opportunity to work their way out of poverty. Currently, it takes Unitus less than $5 to help our microfinance partners build the capacity to serve one additional micro-entrepreneur with life-changing financial services.

$5 really can change a life.
