Nonprofit Overview
Causes: International, International Relief
Mission: We believe that microfinance, the practice of supporting low-income entrepreneurs who are typically unable to participate in the formal banking sector, can create a powerful impact. SKI Charities provides capital to female entrepreneurs through our microfinance institute, SKIMFI. In parallel, affording educational resources to young girls can have a far reach in expanding the potential of a community and a nation. Our SKIPGO initiative grants scholarships to highly motivated girls who show early promise. And for many creative artists in these same locations, SKILLS commissions art so that they may express their culture through independent works.
Target demographics: women and young girls
Geographic areas served: Mutare, Zimbabwe & Lebu, Chile
Programs: education scholarships, microfinance institute, and commissioning local art
