Grameen Foundation and Musoni Microfinance developed the Kilimo Booster loan tailored to the needs of smallholders. We have disbursed more than 34,000 of these loans, and 70% of group loans have gone to women.
Grameen Foundation’ Community Agent Network (CAN) in the Philippines embodies a new approach to extending financial inclusion to people in poor, remote areas that is applicable across many countries. Combining a mostly female agent network with a digital financial services platform that connects people with banks, utility companies, government agencies, and other businesses it has enabled up to one million low-income people in the Philippines to benefit from formal financial services.
