Eskala is a spin off of the non-profit Global Brigades (GB). Founded in 2003, GB's mission is to inspire, mobilize and collaborate with communities to achieve their own health and economic goals. Through 18 years of work, GB discovered that access to financial services were vital for a community to break the cycle of poverty - thus Eskala was born.
