Microfinance - Investing in People
At Oikocredit, we believe the world’s poor can build better lives for themselves – if only given the chance.
And our experience proves this. By no choice of their own, 1.4 billion people in the world live in poverty. They don’t lack ability. They lack opportunity.
We provide that opportunity. Through financing, the poor gain vital access to credit. With it, they are able to generate income, support their families and sustain their communities. It is a formula that has been proven time and time again.At Oikocredit, the loans we provide to around 500 microfinance institutions have touched hundreds of thousands of families in some 70 countries all around the world. That’s a difference you can count on.
Discover how you can help make a real difference – one life at a time.
