Last week, Root Capital brought together 34 participants from 17 client cooperative organizations across Nicaragua for a transformative credit workshop. This diverse group—comprised of half women and nearly one-third young people—focused on mastering risk management in credit portfolios. Through collaborative discussions, participants developed their own risk matrices, turning theory into practical tools they can use in their communities. The workshop was not just a learning experience, but a platform for our clients to take the lead, sparking rich, insightful conversations. Check out these photos from this inspiring event! #ImpactInvesting #SocialChange #SocialImpact #ImpactFinance #RootCapitalLatAm

Did you see…? Root Capital passed the $2 billion threshold in lending! 🎉🎉🎉 Over the past 25 years, we’ve provided financing to over 800 agricultural businesses too big for microloans but too small for commercial lenders, and have provided capacity-building training to twice as many, reaching over 2.3 million farmers. We’re thrilled to have passed this milestone during our 25th anniversary year!

This week, women from Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras gathered in Costa Rica for the first ever convening of the Central American Women’s Council. The Council provides a space for members to share about their experiences as women leaders and learn about topics like commercial innovation and development, climate change, and gender barriers. During their time together, Root Capital’s Director of the Women in Agriculture Initiative, Leo Gutiérrez Fernández, facilitated conversations and provided training to the members, so that they can return to their businesses with new tools to enhance gender equity both in their business and communities. Check out these photos from the convening! 📸 #WomenInAgriculture #GenderLensInvesting #GenderEquity #InclusiveFinance #RootCapitalLatAm
