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.
WCCN is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organizations that utilizes the powerful tool of microcredit to provide low-income Latin American entrepreneurs and small-scale farmers access to financing. Microcredit borrowers use their loans to start and/or grow their operations and ultimately work their way out of poverty. WCCN's socially responsible investors enable microcredit lending while receiving financial and social returns.
Because WCCN believes in taking a holistic approach to poverty alleviation, our work also promotes fair trade, women’s empowerment, and housing improvement initiatives and fosters greater understanding, goodwill, and peace through people-to-people exchanges.
