Who is our customer
Vision Fund International (VFI) is the not for profit microfinance arm of World Vision, a child focused global development, relief and advocacy organisation. VFI's global network of 24 microfinance institutions across Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America has over 800,000 clients, creating and sustaining more than 1.5 million jobs while impacting the lives of over 3 million children. It aims to improve the lives of 9 million children annually by 2019; it does so by financing, primarily, women.
What is our funding objective?
The aim is to support VFI to further develop its innovative Disaster Resilient Microfinance Program (DRMP) through the strengthening of its approach on Financial Disaster Risk Management (FDRM).
Why do we fund this investment?
This project has high strategic relevance due to its impact on rural communities and smallholder farmers (over 60 percent of VFI's loan portfolio is to smallholder farmers or agricultural dependent businesses), and the impact that it could potentially have in making microfinance more climate resilient. VFI is committed to sharing lessons learned.
