Grameen Foundation helps the world’s poorest, especially women, improve their lives and escape poverty by helping to provide access to appropriate financial services (such as small loans and savings accounts), new ways to generate income, and important information about their health, crops and finances.

By helping local microfinance institutions and other poverty-focused organizations become more effective, and by providing the poor with innovative mobile phone-based solutions, we’ve helped millions pull themselves out of poverty. With your help, we can reach even more of the world's poorest.

With operations around the world, Grameen Foundation is able to identify local needs, and share best practices and lessons learned, enhancing and expanding local programs that empower the poor and help move them from poverty to financial self-sufficiency.

In addition, as a global organization, we are able to spot global trends and problems, and develop solutions that are easily transferable to others who share our poverty-focused goals. Working with international and local partners, as well as the poor themselves, we solve problems in a way that is sustainable and scalable, so that local solutions in one region can be customized and applied to another.
