 What is Wokai?

Wokai (我开 which means “I Start” in Chinese) is the first online person-to-person microfinance lending platform in China whose goal is to empower the impoverished in rural China to lift themselves out of poverty. 

What is our purpose?

Wokai is looking to start a local chapter in Dallas.  This launch event is open to anyone interested in learning more about Wokai and microfinance in China.  

“Drinks for a Better World” brings together socially conscious and visionary individuals who share a common interest in microfinance, philanthropy, and international affairs. So come share your thoughts and ideas, and see how you can get involved!

Wokai (“I start” in Chinese) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2007 dedicated to helping individuals in rural China lift themselves out of poverty through microloans.

Wokai’s approach uses the internet to allow contributors around the world to provide loan capital to borrowers in rural China. Through www.wokai.org, contributors loan as little as $10 to a borrower, collect repayments each month, and allocate capital to a new borrower at the end of the loan cycle.

Since the website launch in November 2008, Wokai has raised over US$350,000 in loan capital, attracted 6,500 users, and empowered 400 borrowers.

Wokai has been featured in CNN, Time, MSNBC, CNBC, Newsweek, CCTV, and Bloomberg.
