About This Cause

Need

1.4 billion people live on less than $1 a day around the world. Women make up 70% of the world's poor and account for 91% of Trickle Up participants.

Solution

In partnership with local agencies, Trickle Up provides business training and seed capital grants of $100 to launch or expand a microenterprise and savings support to build assets. Trickle Up works in 8 countries throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Impact

Once women have launched their businesses, they are able to provide better nutrition, health care and education for their families. For every person who launches a Trickle Up livelihood, an average of 5 people benefit. In 2008, nearly 9,000 microneterprises were launched, and 45,000 people benefited from Trickle Up participant earnings.
