People Power for the Poor

The PinoyME Foundation is a social investment banker for microfinance institutions (MFIs) in the Philippines. It is the flagship project of the PinoyME consortium, a group of leaders from the business, academic, and social development sectors that was convened by Former President Corazon C. Aquino in 2006 to bolster microfinance and microentrepreneurship in the Philippines.

“PinoyME” stands for “Filipino microenterprise”, and the belief in every Filipino’s ability to defeat poverty through his own efforts.
