Report to : CEO

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.

YCAB Social Enterprise 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 has one clear mission: to improve welfare through education and innovative financing. YCAB aims to vitalize underprivileged youths to become self-reliant through economic empowerment and education, bringing them from mere subsistence to sustainable livelihood. YCAB believes in the power of education to improve welfare. To date, YCAB has impacted five million underprivileged youths and hundreds of thousands of low-income families.

YCAB is now exploring ways to implement the last link in its change model: to create a sustainable system whereby students who graduate and become entrepreneurs or employed can pay it forward. They do this by giving back or investing in capital market products to help grow and scale YCAB’s mission-driven microfinance so that YCAB can empower even more youths to take control of their destiny.
