About Microfinance

 

Around 2.7 billion people in the world lack access to basic financial services*. Without credit or savings, they have little hope of improving their living conditions. That’s where microfinance comes in.

 

 

Access to available credit empowers those in need to invest in themselves and create their own path out of poverty. With even the smallest of loans, they can create income-generating businesses, send their children to school, buy medicine and nutritious food, or fix a leaky roof.

 

As an investor in Oikocredit, you know that your money is playing a crucial role in the developing world.
