MicroWorld

MicroWorld is an internet platform that allows individuals and businesses to finance projects.

MicroWorld is an internet platform that allows individuals and businesses to finance projects of micro-entrepreneurs around the world by making online loans. Born in 2010 from a partnership between the non-governmental organisation (NGO) PlaNet Finance and Groupe Allard, the website offers a marketplace of online financing, news and insights on the microfinance field, and a place where lenders can organise their lending activity within an online community. MicroWorld is run as a social business - combining a strong social mission with business methodology - whose aim is to promote the growth of microcredit in developing countries. The social business model is designed to maximise social impact through efficient, sustainable, and scalable business practices. Financed by private funds, MicroWorld gives its profits directly to the microfinance NGO, PlaNet Finance.
