We're an international economic development organization that creates business solutions to poverty. MEDA – Mennonite Economic Development Associates – is an international economic development organization that creates business solutions to poverty. Since 1953, MEDA has been creating business solutions to poverty that are sustainable, scalable, measurable and replicable. MEDA has worked in over 70 countries providing technical assistance and access to capital to farmers and entrepreneurs to grow successful livelihoods and businesses. MEDA began as an association of Mennonite business people who believed they were called to be faithful in generously sharing their abilities and resources. Continuing in that Christian tradition, MEDA welcomes all who share our values and want to join us in our mission.
