Entrepreneurs Du Monde

Since its creation in 1998 the French NGO, Entrepreneurs du Monde, has been working with communities in developing countries. The organisation enables thousands of women and men living in extremely difficult circumstances to improve their living conditions: it provides support for their own economic initiatives and helps them gain access to products offering significant health, economic and environmental benefits. It helps these people to be successful, which in turn enables them to make economic and social progress. The association focuses on 3 areas: social microfinance, social entrepreneurship and the creation of very small businesses. In 2011, Entrepreneurs du Monde supported 26 partners, helping 140,000 microentrepreneurs in 12 countries (Haiti, Western Africa, South-Eastern Asia).
