The Pangea Network

The Pangea Network is a non-profit organization committed to promoting the social and economic empowerment of women in developing countries and changing lives through microenterprise. By honoring and respecting local ideas, customs and cultures, we achieve true collaboration with the women and communities we serve and the organizations with which we partner.

Pangea: n. (from Greek) All lands.

Pangea is the name of the supercontinent that existed over 200 million years ago. This symbol of unity reminds us that we are more alike than different.
