Overview
The Ignite project in Peru supported thousands of small business owners, particularly women, to grow their businesses, support their families, and strengthen their communities. The project was part of CARE’s global Ignite Program, in partnership with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, which runs in Pakistan, Peru and Vietnam. All three countries have large numbers of small and micro-enterprises that are ready to grow, but lack access to the support and investment they need.
In Peru, Ignite partnered with local financial organizations to connect entrepreneurs with the technology, networks, and training they needed to thrive.
