Drawing a wider circle
The statistics are staggering. More than 1 billion people lack clean drinking water, over 800 million suffer from hunger and malnutrition, and, every hour, 1,200 children die from preventable diseases. The sheer scale of global poverty demands an equal response.
Grameen Foundation works with organizations around the globe to develop coordinated efforts to fight poverty. Our global MFI network is our closest ally in helping to spread the benefits of microfinance throughout the countries and regions where the MFIs operate. We have also fostered technology partnerships with MFIS outside our network and other organizations to use the power of information and communications technology to create businesses for the rural poor. In addition, we work closely with the ONE Campaign to create a day when poverty will be history.

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 28.
