Grameen Pilipinas Microfinance Inc. follows the Grameen model, which is founded on Discipline, Unity, Courage and Hardwork. We are particularly keen on supporting women entrepreneurs, whose role in the Filipino household becomes increasingly significant as a partner decision-maker... Grameen Pilipinas Microfinance Inc. (GPMI) started as a pilot for a microfinance business school in 2013 by members of the Grameen Foundation Australia (GFA). Combining microfinance with education and mentoring, GPMI endeavored to promote empowerment in two settlement areas in Quezon City, Philippines. Inspired by Prof. Muhammad Yunus' principles of social business, it has made funds available to 6,500 poor women within the first two years of its operation, with a 94.5% repayment rate.
