Vittana combines the massive reach of microfinance and the transformative power of education with the momentum of crowd-funding. We are cracking open the global market for education so that the millions of young people living in developing countries around the world can have the tools they need to change their lives forever. Our solution has three main components: Program Building: We work directly with banks and microfinance institutions around the world to create new student micro-loan programs. For the first time ever, these student micro-loan programs empower young people with the opportunity to finish school. Learn more about how we build student micro-loan programs.

Crowdfunding: We run an award-winning website that allows our community to lend directly to Vittana students around the world. We are the first organization that both directly creates new microlending programs on the ground, and that also supports these programs through its own crowd-funding website. The Vittana website allows our supporters to take action and be part of a movement that directly empowers young people who want to build a better future. See all Vittana students, or learn more about how it works.
Demonstration Effect: We're demonstrating to the global financial community that students in developing countries (a) are bankable, (b) will repay their loans and (c) can change their life trajectories forever if given the chance to finish school. By proving this, we're building something beyond Vittana; we're changing the way the world thinks about global education.
