Grameen Foundation

Grameen Foundation is a global nonprofit dedicated to ending poverty in our lifetime by investing in the power of women. By enabling new systems of support, we ensure women can access their full potential and build resilience against climate change, financial insecurity, and harmful gender archetypes. Utilizing our expertise and partnerships, we connect poor rural women to essential financial, health and agricultural products and services, while building empowering ecosystems that support her breakthrough. This ecosystem includes strong peer networks, promotes gender equity, and provides information, expertise and market access for poor rural communities. In 2016, Grameen Foundation and the global nonprofit Freedom from Hunger joined forces under the banner of Grameen Foundation. Founded in 1946 under the name of Meals for Millions, throughout its 70 years Freedom from Hunger never hesitated to embrace any change that would further its mission of ending hunger and poverty.
