About YCAB Foundation

YCAB Foundation (1999) is the founding and flagship organization in the YCAB Social Enterprise Group, which bases its operations on a mutually reinforcing and financially sustainable social change model. The group includes several for‑profit entities that offer products and services to emerging consumers, including mission‑driven microfinance to low‑income women entrepreneurs, conditional upon their child’s enrollment to school. YCAB’s change model focuses on improving welfare through education and innovative financing, aiming to vitalize underprivileged youths into self‑reliant entrepreneurs and employable individuals. To date, YCAB has impacted five million under‑privileged youths and hundreds of thousands of low‑income families.

Future Vision

YCAB is exploring ways to implement the last link in its change model: creating a sustainable system whereby students who graduate and become entrepreneurs or employed can pay it forward by giving back or investing in capital market products, thereby scaling YCAB’s mission‑driven microfinance and empowering even more youths to take control of their destiny.
