Shanti Microfinance is one of the few not-for-profit organizations and all funds are used for social ends to promote entrepreneurship.
The management team has unrivalled experience in investment, technology and training and a broad international network.
Historical track record of work within the region focused on strong partnerships at a professional and personal level with local partners.
Development focused rather than just providing aid. By providing training, technology and capital, positive knock on effects are realized across the community.
Sustainability is of critical importance. The communities that Shanti works with are ones with long-term sustainable visions and goals.
Strategic partnerships with corporations to facilitate lending and training for entrepreneurs.
No bias towards religion or caste. Many MFIs work with a particular group whilst Shanti places no emphasis on gender, age, religion or caste.
Shanti provides an ability for a wide range of stakeholders to participate in grass roots development and philanthropy opportunities without the need to build their own corporate social responsibility strategies.
