Grameen Foundation helps the world’s poorest, especially women, improve their lives and escape poverty through access to small loans, new ways to generate income, and important information about their health, crops and finances.

By helping local microfinance institutions 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.
