Bloom Microventures
Bloom Microventures is a non-profit social business (registered UK charity) providing microcredit to entrepreneurs living below the poverty line in developing countries using a unique model that harnesses the power of responsible tourism with microcredit to alleviate poverty.
Break away from the typical tourist trail for a day in Vietnam's verdant countryside harvesting vegetables, fishing, or visiting historic sites—and meeting rural women in need of startup financial support to generate a sustainable income.
Bloom Microventures is the only organization in Vietnam that combines the power of microfinance and responsible tourism to fight poverty. Day trips to the greater Hanoi area link tourists with people in need. Your $65 fee helps fund one of our selected local borrowers. With just a small loan these women can become self-sufficient and provide for themselves and their families.
We will spend a few hours visiting these women and with the help of our translators you will learn about the challenges facing disadvantaged women in Vietnam as well as the local history and culture of the community. Lunch is a traditional meal at the house of a local borrower and a highlight of the day.
