Oikocredit is one of the world’s largest sources of private funding to the microfinance sector. We provide credit to trade cooperatives, fair trade organizations and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in the developing world. We also lend working capital to microfinance institutions (MFIs) and co-ops in over 70 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. In turn, they dispense life-changing loans to the poor and disadvantaged, with a special emphasis on rural areas and women.

Oikocredit is a pioneer in microfinance - for 35 years we have built a social vision that connects lenders to borrowers to create lasting change.
