We were proud to be part of the Central American and Caribbean Microfinance Conference held this March. Nearly a thousand people participated in keynote lectures and panels on different financial, economic, social, and technological topics by renowned speakers and managers of major microfinance companies.

Under the theme, “resilience and reactivation of inclusive finance in the face of the new reality,” the conference was organized by the Central American and Caribbean Microfinance Network (REDCAMIF) and the Network of Microfinance Institutions of Guatemala (REDIMIF). During the conference, our Chief Strategy Officer Caitlin Scott participated in a panel discussing the launch of the European Microfinance Award 2023.

Since the conference was located in Guatemala this year, more of our staff were able to attend, and we had a greater opportunity to educate conference attendees about Friendship Bridge’s mission. Attendees were able to sign up for Friendship Bridge site visits during which they got to meet our clients, learn about our work, and learn how they can support us.
