The Atina Women Initiative (AWI) is a social enterprise with a unique platform that provides micro loans to ultra-poor women. It AWI makes affordable, collateral free loans available to impoverished women to help them develop and grow micro-businesses that generate income they can use for basic family needs, education, healthcare, and savings. In addition to income generation, AWI borrowers accumulate assets, improve the standard of living and opportunities for their households. By providing training, education, and access to finance in areas with limited-to-no banking services, AWI aims to promote women's economic participation and carry the hope of prosperity to the poor, and to also reach out to rural areas in Liberia. Our goal is not just to “boost” women out of poverty, but to keep them out of poverty.
