SPBD Microfinance Network

Founded in 2000 by Gregory Casagrande, the South Pacific Business Development (SPBD) Microfinance Network aims to improve the quality of life for families living in poverty. The organization provides impoverished women with meaningful economic opportunities to help them work their way out of poverty. SPBD's core services include offering unsecured micro-loans, establishing savings programs, and providing ongoing financial literacy training and business development support. By focusing on women in rural villages, SPBD seeks to create a sustainable cycle of entrepreneurship, financial independence, and community improvement.
