DiscoverHope works with two Peruvian partners in the field: Multicredit and G&C

Knowing that our work coupled together would be much more powerful for the women who want to lift themselves out of poverty, DiscoverHope, Multicredit, and G&C officially agree to work in cooperation. Multicredit is a Peruvian nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting microcredit in the rural and urban sectors of Cajamarca. G&C Salud y Ambiente (Health and Environment) is a social business that designs and executes projects related to health, business and personal development skills. By joining with local partners that share the DiscoverHope mission and vision, we are able to implement our model of combining microcredit with training and education.

Our work is based on developing this Microcredit Plus model in the community, focused on depth of work and community ownership. Through our microcredit partnerships in Cajamarca, we are poised to eventually allow our community partners to recycle the microcredit money on their own. DiscoverHope is working with a leadership group of 17 beneficiaries to create long term plans for the HopeHouse development center, knowing that it will be operated fully by women leaders in the next three to five years. We hope that the generation of 200+ beneficiaries we are assisting will become natural teachers for all the skills they have learned along the way. In the meantime, DiscoverHope will be in Cajamarca for minimally three more years with a field manager to organize. After this period of time, we will determine based on the feedback from the community.
