Many people who hear about Upaya try to compare our work to that of microfinance. And while the idea for Upaya’s model took shape while I was working in a microfinance institution, our model and our target demographic are quite different.
Editorial
Money alone might improve extreme poverty; economic justice requires more. When Upaya looks for companies that create dignified jobs for the poor, we evaluate questions of reliability, safety, and fundamental respect in addition to the economic benefits.
Upaya Social Ventures is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
