ANGAT MICROFINANCE INSTITUTION
 POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

HISTORY
Angat Microfinance Institution was established in 2022 with the goal
of providing financial solutions that contribute to progressive social and
economic development. Seeing the community's urgent needs and
challenging situation in terms of unemployment, student support, and
unrecognized locally produced goods, the institution recognized the
opportunities that would benefit this specific group of people. The
organization helps to improve the lives of many by innovating techniques to
better meet the needs of its clientele, which are unemployed citizens,
students, and local businesses in Region 4A-CALABARZON by the year
2040. While the majority of the country still lacks an effective, sustainable,
and widely accessible financial system, Angat Microfinance Institution strives
to provide access to financial services such as educational support and
entrepreneurial opportunities to unemployed individuals through innovative
financial products. Through the monetary services it gives and the role it plays
in the economy's development, the company will act as a tool for
entrepreneurial development.This institution allows poor households to move
from everyday survival to planning for the future, investing in better
businesses, improved living conditions, as well as children’s education.
Furthermore, Angat MFI founders are continuously developing a
financial system that is both supportive and responsive to the constantly
changing needs of the Filipino people. This institution will make significant
improvements, not just for the organization's own interests but also for the
betterment of the people who are eligible for financial assistance. In addition,
Angat MFI gained legal authority to get into contracts in order to operate
lending operations and accept monetary support from various organizations,
stakeholders, and agencies, with the same intention of easing the lives of
lower sector communities in the Philippines.
