In summary, we hope to support the overall growth of the microfinance industry by working with institutions such as SHARE, FINO and A.Little.World. Our goals include:

• Developing role models in the microfinance industry by championing industry best-practices;
• Supporting the delivery of an increasingly diversified and flexible range of financial services to a broad variety of communities;
• Creating a network of financial services providers with reputations for being highly transparent and cost effective;
• Expanding our support to microfinance institutions by investing in other areas critical to economic development, such as health and education;
• Supporting the application of technology and development of back-office solutions to provide the administrative infrastructure needed to sustain the provision of professional financial services to rural and poor communities on a large scale; and
• Providing a considered and experienced voice in the global discussion on the benefits and effectiveness of microfinance.
