Wealth creation is a fundamental right of poor people. Investment in small business enterprises is the key to their financial freedom; it enables them to empower themselves and the communities around them. In a climate where conventional financial products and services are geared against poor people due to their lack of collateral, GSL’s projects invest in groups of poor, yet resourceful, people. This model has proven successful through the small businesses that have prospered and the entrepreneurs that have escaped the downward spiral of poverty.
GSL’s success in empowering poor people through directed investment has earned it a unique place in the investment world. Investment partners from other countries understand the value of investing in small enterprises. They have teamed up with GSL to share their expertise and ensure that wealth creation and preservation extend further to communities that are still trapped in a cycle of poverty.
