About us

Stichting Credit4Cuba is a non-profit foundation, founded in 2015 in the Netherlands by Marije Oosterhek and Dennis Schmidt. The foundation aims to make a difference for small Cuban entrepreneurs – the so called cuentapropistas – and supports small and growing enterprise development in Cuba. We offer network meetings, financial and practical management training, coaching and improved access to finance. 

We intend to empower the self-employed, creating positive social impact for the entrepreneur and Cuban society, always in close cooperation with local organisations and the (future) cuentapropistas. In Cuba we cooperate with Proyecto CubeEmprende and CCRD, in the Netherlands we work in close cooperation with Qredits Microfinanciering Nederland. However, we are open to discuss partnerships with other organsiations (worldwide) that are interested to work with us and support our goal to make a difference.
