2. We hold ourselves and our partners accountable for transparency and measurable results, including social and financial performance;

3. We champion innovation that makes a difference in the lives of the poor;

4. We first seek to form partnerships with those who can advance our mission before acting alone;

5. We respect, invest in and promote local social entrepreneurs and local ownership; and,

6. We honor the voice, professionalism and integrity of our staff and volunteers.



Grameen Foundation : Who we are : Values

- Grameen Foundation - Grameen Foundation uses microfinance and innovative technology to fight global poverty and bring opportunities to the world's poorest people. With tiny loans and financial services, we help the poor, mostly women, start businesses and escape poverty. Our global network of 55 microfinance institution (MFI) partners including our Growth Guarantee partners has touched more than 34 million people in 24 countries. In addition, we introduced and now sustain technology initiatives (Mifos and Village Phone) in Cameroon, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, bringing our total country outreach to 28.
