Established in 1986, NWTF operates primarily through two projects. Project Dungganon helps marginalized women from rural and urban communities achieve self-reliance and rise above poverty by providing them with the training and collateral-free credit to start or maintain their own small business ventures. Project Kasanag targets micro-entrepreneurs for low-interest loans to help them acquire capital and assets to maintain their business. Kasanag also offers client-support services such as business evaluations and entrepreneurial seminars.
