Microcredit News

About Us | Print |

220frontpage.jpgFriendship Bridge is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that provides microcredit and educational programs so women and their families can create their own solutions to poverty. The Friendship Bridge blends the short-term economic development needs of women through access to credit and education, and the long-term goal of breaking the generational cycle of poverty by providing educational opportunities for their children. Friendship Bridge has affected the lives of hundreds of thousands of rural people by investing in women entrepreneurs, first in Vietnam and now in rural Guatemala – women who become leaders and agents of change for themselves, their families and communities.

The menu to the left leads to much more information about Friendship Bridge. Who we are, and more importantly whom we serve, and how well we serve them.
 
The NEW FriendshipBridge.org | Print |

ImageWelcome to our new website. It is the product of a great deal of vision and planning by the entire organization. The new site will play a number of roles to help further the mission of Friendship Bridge:

  1. A place for the public to learn about Friendship Bridge on the internet, as well as an access point for more information about microcredit.
  2. A place for the staff, both in the US and in-country, to share information quickly and easily
  3. A place for volunteers to discover needs which can be met by their own skills and resources
  4. A place for the circles to grow and conduct their business
  5. A place that can change as the organization grows and changes

 

This home page will be used for the first month or so to introduce everyone to the new features of this site, tell you how they work, and invite you to help us make it better for you, whether you are a visitor seeking information, a staff member, a volunteer, or a circle member.
