“To prevent poverty by teaching a trade, setting up a person in business, or in some other way preventing the need of charity.”
– Maimonides, 1135-1204
Seven Bar Foundation, a 501(c)3, empowers women via microfinance. Through corporate partnerships and branded events we raise money for MFI’s around the world that focus on lending to female entrepreneurs. The result? Empowered women, enriched communities, and higher GDP. Our mission is to enable women in need to start or grow their own small businesses, breaking the cycle of poverty for their children.
We believe that microfinance is an effective tool to combat poverty and empower women because it fosters self-reliance and encourages sustainable development. As loans are repaid to our Microfinance partners, the funds are then reissued to other entrepreneurs. Investments in Seven Bar Foundation will help countless women over the long-term, constantly growing in size and increasing it’s impact with every woman that the funds reach.
Seven Bar Foundation is a social enterprise. We raise funds and brand awareness for our foundation through branded fashion shows, including Lingerie Miami, New York, and upcoming Lingerie London. We translate the feeling of empowerment a woman feels from wearing lingerie, into entrepreneurial empowerment for the women we support worldwide through microfinance.
