Who are the direct beneficiaries of the model?
Although there a numerous beneficiaries in the MCM chain, two primary and several secondary beneficiaries of the MCM model are outlined below:
Primary:
Low-income villagers (primarily women heads of household): The MCM provides villagers with dependable access to solutions for long-standing health, economic, and environmental problems. The model creates access to economic solutions to a variety of issues, including chronic conditions, vision problems, water scarcity, lack of energy, and vision problems. All the resources that help alleviate these problems are provided for local villagers at an affordable price. Equally as important is the fact that locals are served directly by their fellow villagers who understand their situations.
Women often with no previous experience or earning opportunities: Local women entrepreneurs generate income and gain a sense of purpose while providing villagers with essential products and services. The MCM helps improve their self-esteem and enhances their standing within their families and the community. They gain an invaluable combination of leadership skills and financial reward that provides the basis for continuous upward mobility.
Secondary:
Local organizations: Local organizations can themselves act as entrepreneurs and receive kiosks of products to place in their locales. Since the organizations already have existing rural beneficiaries they work with who can purchase the MCM solutions, this structure creates incredible leverage. Similar to the effect it has on local women, the MCM results in income generation for local organizations as well as an increased status within the community. These positive results compliment the local organization’s success in helping the local constituents and helps them to more sustainably provide their primary services.
Product and service innovators: By fueling an MCM initiative with solutions that address the villagers’ needs, product innovators and manufactures accumulate sales and receive constructive feedback on pricing and product parameters.
National social enterprises: As an administrative and logistical infrastructure, national social enterprises benefit from the MCM through income generation and job opportunities. They can also add the MCM to their existing initiatives to create leverage. For example, national and regional infrastructures can create new income opportunities for themselves as MCM implementation platforms and for their strongest borrowers as MCM entrepreneurs.
Village mayors and pastors: Like the women entrepreneurs and local organizations, village mayors and pastors derive prestige in communities and help their constituents through the MCM. When village leaders help their constituents surmount a standing problem in the community, they are seen more highly in the eyes of the villagers.
Donors: By funding the MCM, donors make a measurable and cost-effective impact to a beneficent cause. Furthermore, whereas donations often have a transient effect on those in need, those assisting an MCM venture make a small-time investment with long-lasting results.

How do villagers benefit from the MCM?
The MCM provides villagers with dependable access to solutions for long-standing health, economic, and environmental problems. The model creates access to economic solutions to a variety of issues, including chronic conditions, vision problems, water scarcity, lack of energy, and vision problems. All the resources that help alleviate these problems are provided for local villagers at an affordable price. Equally as important is the fact that locals are served directly by their fellow villagers, rather than an outside source, which further emphasizes a sense of communal camaraderie essential for long-term growth.
How do local women entrepreneurs benefit from the MCM?
A successful MCM initiative allows local women entrepreneurs to generate income and gives them a sense of purpose while providing villagers with essential products and services. It empowers women who have little education and no business experience to invest their time in a venture in which they can earn a profit from their first sale. As a result, the MCM helps improve their self-esteem and enhances their standing within the community. The combination of leadership skills and financial reward the women entrepreneurs achieve that provide the basis for continuous upward mobility are invaluable benefits of the MCM.
How do local organizations benefit from the MCM?
Local organizations can themselves act as entrepreneurs and receive kiosks of products to place in their locale. Since the organizations already have existing rural beneficiaries they work with who can purchase the MCM solutions, this structure creates incredible leverage. Similar to the effect it has on local women, the MCM results in income generation for local organizations as well as an increased status within the community. These positive results compliment the local organization’s success in helping the local constituents.
How do leading organizations benefit from the MCM?
Through their leadership, human resources, and funding support, leading organizations successfully fulfill their mission goals by implementing the MCM. The organizations can attract funding to continue general operations to cover costs and earn a profit.
How do product innovators and manufacturers benefit from the MCM?
By fueling an MCM initiative with solutions that address the villagers’ needs, product innovators and manufactures accumulate sales and receive constructive feedback on pricing and product parameters.
How do national social enterprises benefit from the MCM?
As an administrative and logistical infrastructure, national social enterprises benefit from the MCM through income generation and job opportunities. They can also add the MCM to their existing initiatives to create leverage. For example, national and regional infrastructures can create new income opportunities for themselves as MCM implementation platforms and for their strongest borrowers as MCM entrepreneurs.
How do village mayors and pastors benefit from the MCM?
Like the women entrepreneurs and local organizations, village mayors and pastors derive prestige in communities and help their constituents through the MCM. When village leaders help their constituents surmount a standing problem in the community, they are seen more highly in the eyes of the villagers.
How do volunteers benefit from the MCM?
Volunteers personally engage themselves through their work using the MCM and thus have a personal impact on the constituents. Working within the MCM provides development work experience, familiarity with the Spanish language, and the groundwork for more informed career decisions.
How do universities benefit from the MCM?
By supporting the model, universities enhance their prestige and demonstrate good works to their alumni. Supporting an MCM venture demonstrates a university’s commitment to community service, social equality, and international development. Involvement with an MCM venture gives university students a higher quality experience.
How do donors benefit from the MCM?
By funding the MCM, donors make a measurable and cost-effective impact to a beneficent cause. Furthermore, whereas donations often have a transient effect on those in need, those assisting an MCM venture make a small-time investment with long-lasting results.
