MCE Social Capital

MCE Social Capital (MCE) is a U.S.-based, non-profit that leverages guarantees—or formal assurances of payment in case of default—from individuals and foundations in order to provide greater access to capital for microfinance institutions in the developing world. MCE loans help hard-working people, particularly women, build assets, manage risks and unpredictable income, and gain the freedom to decide how to make and spend money. Since its founding in 2006, MCE has issued over $110 million in loans to more than 50 organizations in 30-plus countries across four continents. Photo courtesy MCE Social Capital
