Background

Grameen Foundation (GF) empowers the world’s poorest people to escape poverty through access to financial services and practical technology.

Founded in 1997 Grameen Foundation’s innovations, programs and resources have helped more than 45 million people in Sub Saharan Africa, Asia, the Arab World, and the Americas to begin their journey out of poverty.

With microfinance and technology, we connect people and local institutions across the globe that share our vision of shattering the barriers for the billion people trying to live on less than a dollar a day.

GF’s Mobile Financial Services Initiative is working to help make financial inclusion simple, affordable and accessible to the poor through the use of mobile phones.

There are 2.5 billion adults around the world who lack access to formal or semi-formal financial services – nearly 90 percent of whom live in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East.
