MPA stands for “Microfinancing Partners in Africa.” The word “partners” is inclusive for us. We partner with you, our generous donor, to steward your gifts for maximum impact. We partner with grassroots organizations doing great microfinancing.
Through these groups, MPA partners with people living in the direst of circumstances, desperate poverty with its underlying burdens and threats to health, community, and dignity. The people who are struggling to climb out of such extreme poverty are not merely recipients of charity.
They are our heroes–they work so hard in a difficult world. They are our partners–there are no better advocates for systemic change than the people who have seen success through small income projects. How can we not be inspired?
to lift themselves out of poverty with dignity and respect.
