The Grameen Foundation goal is simple – they want to see poor people, especially the poorest and those living in harder to reach areas, have access to microfinance and technology and as a result of access to these services, move themselves out of poverty. They envision a world where the poor have broken the generational chain of poverty and lead lives of respect, dignity and opportunity. The Grameen Foundation, a non-profit organisation headquartered in Washington, DC was founded in 1997 by friends of Grameen Bank to help microfinance practitioners and spread the Grameen philosophy worldwide; sharing the ideas of 2006 Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus. The Grameen Foundation and Grameen Bank are independent organisations and have no financial or institutional links.
