Fundacion Capital

Fundación Capital was born from an idea as simple as it is powerful: What would happen if government conditional cash transfers went straight into savings accounts, instead of being handed out in cash? What would happen if we connected social protection systems to mechanisms for financial inclusion?

From there the ideas have only grown. What happens if you hand out tablets pre-loaded with an application specially designed to help rural women living in poverty build their financial skills and self-esteem?

What happens if you partner with governments and financial institutions to design electronic wallets and address head-on common myths that keep people from saving? Or if you provide entrepreneurship training and seed capital to families living in extreme poverty?

These questions have led us across countries and continents, starting in two countries in Latin America and now expanding into 15+ countries around the world.
