Root Capital: Pioneering Finance for Rural Communities

Did you know? The rural poor account for 70% of the world's 2.7 billion people living on less than $2 a day. Root Capital is working to change that statistic. We are a nonprofit social investment fund that provides affordable credit and financial education to environmentally sustainable, grassroots businesses in the developing world. Businesses supported by Root Capital transform rural communities and conserve natural resources in the worlds poorest, most environmentally threatened places. In this film, we invite you to come with us to Guatemala and meet those whose lives we touch.
