Through partner Grameen Pilipinas Microfinance Inc, we give aspiring entrepreneurs in the Philippines an opportunity to establish and grow successful businesses, combining microfinance with training and mentoring to ensure long-term success.

Grameen Pilipinas Microfinance Inc (GPMI) models its approach after the teachings and successes of Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh, targetting the poorest of the poor and playing on their strengths to become successful micro-entrepreneurs.

Marginalised communities are often excluded from mainstream micro-financing and other services, meaning they never get the opportunity to reach their full business potential. Dana Asia seeks to reduce social inequalities to bring equal opportunities to all, regardless of background.

GPMI strives to become a leader in “green microfinance”. Dana Asia works with GPMI to develop innovative new sustainable loan products for the startup of new businesses that are environmentally aware as well as socially impactful and economically viable. Some examples are eco agri loans for sustainable agribusinesses and the eco sari-sari store loan that aims to reduce the plastic waste created by GPMI sari-sari store client businesses.
