A U.S.-based Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) has worked to lift the poor of Peru since 2002. Known as “Eagle Condor Humanitarian,” it was designed in a Masters of Public Administration course taught by the author. This research is a report of its design, start-up as a social entrepreneurial venture, its programs and evaluation of field research that describes multiple innovations, including healthcare, small agricultural gardening, education, and other humanitarian interventions, but focusing especially on microentrepreneurship. Peru is a leader in the global microfinance movement and exemplifies key issues in the discussion of the future of microfinance. These include the movement toward institutions with scale economies and an emphasis on MFI financial sustainability. This Eagle Condor case study seeks to address questions about more development-focused institutions with greater individual-level focus and personal involvement from donors.
