We are committed to developing and championing sustainable solutions that expand financial inclusion, improve livelihoods and enhance health.
We measure the effectiveness of our work by the number of people we reach and how our solutions have improved their lives. Our approach has ranged from tracking the beneficiaries of the microfinance institutions we support and the organizations that use the tools and services we developed, to evaluating the impact of projects we manage directly.
