About

MicroDreams provides a suite of micro-enterprise development services, making the jump from simple microfinance to successful micro-enterprise creation at scale. MicroDreams is the brainchild of Greg Casagrande, who brought a Grameen-style model to Samoa and tweaked it to fit the local needs. His South Pacific Business Development Foundation (SPBD) embodied an “entrepreneur-as-customer” approach driven by the needs of those trying to create first-time small businesses. Today SPBD in Samoa is a financially self-sufficient organization that has worked successfully with over 10,000 of Samoa’s 30,000 families. Now Greg has formed MicroDreams to replicate the Samoa model in Tonga and help micro-enterprise organizations in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru to achieve high impact and financial self-sufficiency. Using start-up donor funding, MicroDreams can drive financially self-sufficient organizations that leverage traditional microfinance
and multiply the incomes of millions.
