For Akosua, a small loan changed everything...

Grameen Foundation helps the world’s poorest, especially women, improve their lives and escape poverty through access to microfinance and technology.

Global poverty is a daunting challenge. But by making very small loans to very determined people, we’ve seen millions of the world’s poor pull themselves out of poverty.

With a footprint in 36 nations, Grameen Foundation is able to identify local needs and share best practices and lessons learned to enhance and expand local programs that move women from poverty to financial self-sufficiency.  

And, as a global foundation, we are able to spot global trends and problems and develop solutions that are easily transferable to others who share our poverty-focused goals.
