Microfinance and the Grameen Foundation




Helping the poor lift themselves out of poverty



Grameen Foundation uses microfinance and innovative technology to fight global poverty and bring opportunities to the world’s poorest people. With tiny loans and financial services, we help the poor, mostly women, start businesses and escape poverty. Our global network of 55 microfinance institution (MFI) partners including our Growth Guarantee partners has touched more than 34 million people in 24 countries. In addition, we introduced and now sustain technology initiatives (Mifos and Village Phone) in Cameroon, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, bringing our total country outreach to 28.
Grameen Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit.
