How does your company inspire others? Adelante Foundation invests thousands of women annually who are left out of the formal economy who are unable to borrow money from family, friends, or banks. With small loans and some initial training, women walk away with more confidence and capabilities to have more agency over their lives.

What are your biggest goals in the next 6 to 12 Months for your business? To get all education and training modules available to future borrowers online, to expand operations from 5,000 to serve 8,000 women, and to provide more clean energy business solutions to the women we work with.
