Oikocredit is one of the world’s largest sources of private funding to the microfinance sector. We also provide credit to trade cooperatives, fair trade organisations and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in the developing world. Microfinance We lend working capital to microfinance institutions (MFIs) all over the world. In turn, they dispense life-changing loans to the poor and disadvantaged, with a special emphasis on rural areas and women. Social investing We offer a dual return to our investors: financial and social. In addition to earning modest financial returns, investors are secure in the knowledge that their money is being used to fight poverty, promote fair trade and respect our planet’s natural resources. Women Empowerment Across the world, many women lack access to education, property and financial services. As a consequence, women also make up the vast majority of the world's poor. Microfinance programmes target women to contribute to poverty alleviation and promote women empowerment. Providing credit to women has a positive impact on the living conditions of women, their households, their community and it improves their social status and decision making power.
