Center for Agriculture and Rural
Development Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD MRI)
A group of 15 rural development practitioners organized the Center
for Agriculture and Rural Development (CARD) Inc. as a social
development foundation in December 1986 as a concerted response to
the growing poverty incidence in depressed communities in Regions IV
and V, particularly in the provinces of Laguna, Quezon, Mindoro
Oriental, Mindoro Occidental, Marinduque, Masbate and the Bicol
Region. Its vision has always been to establish a bank created for,
owned and managed by landless rural women. In the words of CARD
Founding President and now Managing Director, Dr. Jaime Aristotle B.
Alip, Only by creating a vehicle for asset ownership, can we ensure
that the poor will gain control over their own resources and over
their own destiny. Read more on the history of CARD MRI on its
