MICROCREDIT SUMMIT CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA

GreenMicrofinance Center
GreenMicrofinance Center (GMfC) is a non-profit organization.  Our mission is to address climate change and environmental justice by providing education and sharing knowledge on 'microfinance and climate change' and 'clean energy for the poor'. The Center offerings include our document library, blog, and university on-line forum. 

Objective
GreenMicrofinance (GMf), a pioneer in merging the environmental and microfinance sectors, has been working since 2002 to bring clean, affordable, renewable, locally-generated energy to the two billion at the bottom of the pyramid.  GMf‘s objective is to provide educational, technical, and financial services to assist the global poor's transition to a sustainable, affordable, and healthy energy future.

Strengths
We promote this powerful mission by maintaining strong working relationships with microfinance institutions (MFIs), socially-concerned investors interested in financing sustainable clean energy in developing countries, environmental consulting firms, universities, non-government organizations (NGOs), government agencies, environmental research institutes, and financial institutions. 

Philosophy
We are a team of dedicated individuals passionately committed to pursuing our mission of poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability.  We believe that people are our most precious assets and our focus is to work only with individuals and organizations that are equally committed to our mission.  We believe in investing - in knowledgeable employees, in IT systems, in joint venture partners whose skills fill our gaps, in relationships that will help create a sustainable industry-wide effort instead of scattered individual attempts.
