Microfinance organizations

Check out the list of Microfinance organizations in the world and be inspired by their wonderful visions and achievements:

Grameen Foundation
We're a dynamic, nonprofit orga
nization that uses microfinance and innovative technology to fight global poverty and bring opportunities to the world's poorest people. With tiny loans, financial services and technology, we help the poor, mostly women, start self-sustaining businesses to escape poverty.

Grameen Bank (Bangladesh)
Grameen Bank was started in 1976 by Professor Muhammad Yunus with the m
oney in his pocket. Today it serves over five million poor clients in Bangladesh, helping thousands rise out of poverty each week.

Opportunity International
"Giving the poor a working chance - that's what Opportunity International is all about. Small loans, sometimes as little as $50, in the hands of a poor entrepreneur can transform the lives of individuals, families, and entire communities."




Microcredit Summit Campaign
"The Microcredit Summit Campaign brings together microcredit practitioners, advocates, educational institutions, donor agencies, international financial institutions, non-governmental organizations and others involved with microcredit."

FINCA
Provides financial services to the world's poorest families so the
y can create their own jobs, raise household incomes, and improve their standard of living.
