OPEN TO GROW

For over a decade, we have been providing micro-loans to poor micro-entrepreneurs, mainly women with greeat success. We work through two small microfinance institutions (SMFI), SERVIGUA in Guatemala and PANA PANA in Nicaragua.

We have learned the value of keeping a tight focus. Our focus is on providing small oans to poor entrepreneurs to small business loans in Central America. With these loans, they are able to increase their business incomes and leave poverty behind. This is “classic microcredit”.

We will continue to help our SMFI in any way that we can to grow their businesses so that they can serve more poor entrepreneurs with small business loans. We provide our SMFI partners with both mental capital, i.e., our combined business experience where appropriate, and monetary capital, i.e., small loans for their businesses.

Over objective over the next 5 years, hopefully less, we is to secure sufficient additional funding through grants, donations and loans to make Open to Grow comfortably sustainable from a financial point of view.

We see Open to Grow as having a bright future in Central America providing microloans to poor entrepreneurs, primarily women, to help them grow themselves out of poverty.
