Wokai (我开 – “I start” in Mandarin) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit founded in 2007 dedicated to helping individuals in rural China lift themselves out of poverty through microloans. Wokai introduced the first ever person-to-person online model that connects individual contributors around the world directly with individual farmers and microentrepreneurs in rural China in need of small loans. At Wokai, we believe that building a worldwide community of small givers can have an incredible impact on increasing opportunities for the poor.
