Pro Mujer
Founded in 1990 in Bolivia, Pro Mujer is a leading mission-driven social enterprise that empowers women in Latin America through a suite of financial, health and skill-building services, helping them reach their full potential. Over the past 28 years, Pro Mujer has disbursed more than $3 billion in small loans, provided over 8 million health interventions, and impacted more than 2 million women across Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru.
In 2017, Pro Mujer turned to a new organizational strategy with a mandate to build a large-scale and sustainable platform that provides relevant and transformative resources and tools to women throughout their life cycle. Pro Mujer has begun to expand its services by entering new areas, including digital literacy, gender-based violence prevention, and workforce development. By leveraging alliances and technology, Pro Mujer is building a one-stop shop for women's empowerment.
