Financially empowering women living in poverty


OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide a range of financial services responsibly to people at the bottom of the pyramid. We particularly focus on women living in poverty in rural and hard-to-reach areas, to create self employment opportunities, build financial resilience, and harness women’s entrepreneurial spirit by empowering them economically.

Our Approach


OUR IMPACT

Microfinance, responsibly delivered, is a powerful tool to increase the inherent resilience and economic empowerment of people living in poverty.

We believe that we can achieve sustainable impact at scale by listening and learning directly from the people we aim to serve.

We started to measure our social performance and desired client-level outcomes from 2019 using Lean Data℠ methodology on five social outcome focus areas of BRAC International Microfinance: quality of life, financial resilience, women’s economic empowerment, self-employment and livelihood opportunities, and household welfare. This regular annual exercise complements our Social Performance Management and Client Protection initiatives, and enables us to set targets and define strategies to reach more people living in poverty to achieve long-term impact.

The sixth impact survey was completed in 2024 using Lean Data℠ methodology in partnership with 60 Decibels. All respondents were women.
