We unlock capital to empower families living in poverty to build a better future.

We envision a world where everyone—no matter where they live—can improve their lives through access to knowledge, resources, and capital. For more than 15 years, we have pioneered the use of philanthropic loan guarantees to mobilize capital and make high-impact investments. Our investments in enterprises build opportunity in some of the world’s most underserved regions. 

Our innovative model is powered by a growing community of impact investors, foundations, financial institutions, and philanthropists who recognize the talent and entrepreneurial passion that exist in emerging markets and are committed to supporting people as they build sustainable ways to thrive—for themselves and their communities. With the support of our partners, we have achieved the following milestones to date:

Over the past year we have tightened up MCE’s impact thesis to focus on three primary outcome areas: sustainable livelihoods, gender inclusion, and a thriving environment. How did we do in 2022? Our 2022 Impact Report gives a snapshot of these outcome areas and shares how our capital is being put to work by high-impact enterprises in emerging markets.
