Get Involved

At SPBD we like to focus on the 5 main constituents of our success: our investors, our partners, the media, village leaders, and students. We seek out our stakeholders for help in overcoming many of our challenges

We seek out stakeholders to overcome the following challenges

1. Accessing financing both locally and internationally
2. Finding executive management members to help SPBD expand in the field and at HQ in the USA
3. Finding qualified technical partners in the Pacific region with whom to collaborate
4. Spreading the word about poverty and social issues in the Pacific and how SPBD contributes to solving some of the most pressing issues in the region
5. Helping SPBD understand its members better so as to provide more value to every member, village and community we work in

With the creation of SPBD Microfinance Holdings (Singapore) Pte Ltd we expect to help 50,000 poor Pacific islanders lift themselves out of poverty, which could impact another 300,000 immediate family members in the region.

Why Support SPBD?

1. There is a large need for economic development as most of the South Pacific population lives in rural poverty.
2. South-Pacific nations are small and remote. Economic development experts have advised against working in small, remote, rural, and tribal areas because it is too costly and lacks scale.
3. SPBD has overcome all these challenges and is the most successful microfinance organization in the South Pacific

Individual and Institutional Loans

SPBD works closely with individuals and institutions to structure different types of loans that benefit both parties’ goals. These loans vary in size and maturity with different levels of interest rates. Please contact Gregory F. Casagrande at greg@spbdmicrofinance.com for more detailed information.
