Context :
The countries where VisionFund operates are characterized by high levels of rural poverty and limited access to formal financial services. Subsistence farming is the primary source of income for the majority of the population, but faces significant challenges related to climate change and a lack of infrastructure. These developing economies require targeted investments to support small-scale entrepreneurs and farmers.
The institution:
VisionFund Ghana is an international microfinance institution affiliated with World Vision, whose mission is to provide responsible financial services to families living in poverty. The organization focuses particularly on improving children's well-being by enabling parents to increase their income and develop sustainable livelihoods.
Impact :
VisionFund Ghana offers financial services tailored to rural and vulnerable populations, including microloans, savings accounts, and financial literacy training. Its client-centric approach and presence in remote communities enable it to reach populations excluded from the traditional banking system. The institution distinguishes itself through its rigorous measurement of social impact, with a particular focus on improving children's living conditions and strengthening community resilience.
