SOUTH PACIFIC BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

SPBD is a solution to financial inclusion, not a band-aid. That's because we offer women a hand up, not a handout. Our philosophy of lending is based on a respect for every individual's innate human ingenuity, drive, and self-esteem. It's these qualities that make people creditworthy, not the collateral which traditional banks demand. By providing access to capital, SPBD allows women and their families to pursue their dreams and achieve their full potential. We provide the opportunities to empower the poorest members of society to make significant improvements in their lives... SPBD is the only financially sustainable and scalable microfinance network that promotes financial inclusion and women's empowerment in the South Pacific... SPBD is especially focused on empowering women to start, grow and maintain microbusinesses through the provision of access to financial and business development services as well as the opportunity to build assets, improve financial security and finance..
