Community ReInVestment
InVenture believes that community reinvestment can be catalyst for a positive feedback loop; growing a community through a business, while growing a business through a community. InVenture micro-entrepreneurs Rally with other micro-entrepreneurs, and work with local and international NGOs to find initiatives in their communities to focus on; such as reproductive health, girls education, and vocational training to reinvest a portion fo their monthly gross profits towards.
You, the InVestor, help to fund micro-entrepreneurs, and in turn they rally together to support a worthwhile project to build up their community. This is what we call a Change Reaction.

About InVenture
InVenture believes that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have the potential to create lasting economic development in under-served communities, and that the best way to unleash this potential is through micro-INVESTING, not micro-loans. While micro-credit has helped to alleviate the struggle of subsistence living for many people in developing communities — this form of financing has not been successful in expanding businesses beyond sole proprietorships.
