The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines is pleased to announce NOE Lending Corp as its new Start Up Member!

 

Led by President Julien Melis, NOE Lending Corp is a microfinance startup driven by a clear mission: to break cycles of financial exclusion within Philippine coastal communities. Their vision is to foster resilient, self-sustaining local economies where artisanal workers truly own their livelihoods.

Their flagship initiative, the Anchor of Hope Program, brings this vision to life through a sustainable, rent-to-own model for local fishermen. By replacing predatory leasing with structured, manageable micro-payments, they empower families to acquire their own vessels. This innovative approach transitions marginalized workers into proud asset owners, securing their long-term economic independence and restoring dignity to their trade.

As they scale this model of sustainable social impact, they welcome connections with fellow French Chamber members who share their values and are interested in aligned partnerships to help empower more communities across the archipelago.
