Women's World Banking (WWB), one of the world's leaders in microenterprise financing, is a not-for-profit international financial institution founded in 1979 to facilitate the participation of poor women entrepreneurs in the modern economy at the local level, especially those who are generally without access to established financial institutions. The organization is composed of a network of affiliates (independent local institutions that provide a variety financial and training services to meet the needs of local women) with a central coordinating office in New York City.
