We have worked in Latin America and the Caribbean since 1990, focusing on the poorest women and families, living in remote rural areas. We have historically worked in a number of countries, including Haiti, Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras and the Dominican Republic.
Today, several complementary projects in Colombia expand agricultural capacity of smallholder farmers and tackle the challenges of providing financial services in remote areas.
Projects in Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru center on delivering integrated financial and health services to women and training partner organizations to improve client services and health protection. The work in these three countries is carried out by Freedom from Hunger, an independent affiliate of Grameen Foundation.
