Working Capital for Community Needs
Working Capital for Community Needs (WCCN) partners with individuals and organizations in Latin America and the U.S. to build sustainable economic opportunities that help people work their way out of poverty. Utilizing the powerful tools of microfinance and fair trade, WCCN provides low-income Latin American entrepreneurs, small farmers, and their producer-owned cooperatives access to financing so they can grow their operations and work their way out of poverty. WCCN also promotes women's empowerment and housing improvement initiatives and fosters greater understanding, goodwill, and peace through people-to-people exchanges.
