Trickle Up
Trickle Up is a nonprofit international development organization that empowers people living on less than $1.25 a day to take their first steps out of poverty by providing them with resources to build microenterprises for a better quality of life. Trickle Up is unique among microfinance agencies in that it provides seed capital grants for microenterprises as opposed to loans. Trickle up also helps create sustainable economic empowerment by providing microenterprise training and helping participants connect with savings and loan groups.
