On the Horizon
In addition to our commitment to providing critical information and services to rural communities, the Grameen Technology Center is working to foster partnerships between leading technology companies, research institutions, and universities. To accomplish this, the Center is collaborating with a diverse group of universities, corporations and multilateral and non-governmental organizations to address the barriers currently inhibiting the microfinance movement from realizing the full potential of information technology to maximize poverty reduction.

Grameen Foundation uses microfinance and innovative technology to fight global poverty and
bring opportunities to the world's poorest people. With tiny loans and financial services, we help the poor, mostly women, start
businesses and escape poverty. Our global network of 52 microfinance institution (MFI) partners including our Growth Guarantee partners has touched more than 31 million people in 23 countries. In addition, we introduced and now sustain technology initiatives (Mifos and Village Phone) in Cameroon, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, bringing our total country outreach to 27.
