Since our founding, RestartME has supported micro-entrepreneurs through timely financial recovery packages channelled via trusted microfinance institution (MFI) partners. We respond to both natural and man-made disasters, helping rebuild lives, livelihoods, and liquidity.

When disaster strikes, RestartME enables MFIs to quickly provide soft-term loans to affected micro-entrepreneurs so they can repair, restock, or restart their small businesses.
