Grameen Foundation

Founded in 1997, Grameen Foundation was established to end poverty by turning Professor Muhammad Yunus’ vision of microfinance into a globally recognized concept. With significant success, we harnessed technology to amplify our impact and broadened our mission to include ending hunger through our merger with Freedom from Hunger in 2016. Since 2016, we have impacted over 29 million people. Today, we aim to deepen our impact by investing in women and moving 10 million families out of poverty by 2030 through our Invest in HER Power strategy. Our Vision: A world without hunger and poverty. Our Mission: Grameen Foundation enables the poor, especially women, to create a world without poverty and hunger. The Problem: Women and their families do not have the holistic support they need to leave poverty forever. Our Solution: Grameen Foundation’s strategy, Invest in HER Power is rooted in the HER Framework and connects women and families to tailored financial services, training, and the resources needed to reduce global poverty and hunger rates. Our Goal: By 2030, we will ensure 10 million women and their families leave poverty forever.
