What We Do: a Backstory

Our existence is deeply rooted from our belief in the power of women entrepreneurship to help families earn a living, support their children’s education, upgrade their quality of life, and enable them to be liberated from generational poverty.

We’re the extension of Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa (YCAB), which has transformed from its initial stand since its establishment in 1999 as a pure non-profit organization focusing on sustainable youth development into a social enterprise. We are a for-profit entity that provides integrated financial inclusion services for ultra micro-entrepreneurial mothers to improve their family’s welfare and their children’s education and invests in impactful and scalable social enterprises whose work strengthens and aligns with YCAB’s vision.

Until today, we have opened several educational opportunities (Kejar Paket and vocational courses), even scholarships to higher education for thousands of YCAB Ventures beneficiaries’ children.

What We Aim for

We’re here to ensure that the doors of opportunities are wide open and accessible for everyone.
