Mission Statement:
Grameen Foundation's mission is to empower the world's poorest people to lift themselves out of poverty with dignity through access to financial services and to information.
With tiny loans, financial services and technology, we help the poor, mostly women, start self-sustaining businesses to escape poverty.
