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. |

We gather and annotate fully down-loadable papers on our Open Library found in our Resource Center. We encourage you to upload papers and share your resources with others who "leaf" through the library pages looking for articles of interest. Nearly 40,000 documents have been downloaded.
Scores of relevant clean energy and environmental topics are available to anyone in the world. From working plans for bio-digesters to UN policy papers, our vetted materials have been downloaded by thousands of visitors. This library is used by professional practitioners in finance, engineering, environmental science, education, as well as by activists, students, journalists, and researchers.
Increase our efforts: Added professional time will allow us to greatly expand our offerings and include more languages.
