Grameen America

Grameen America is a nonprofit organization that provides small loans, called microloans, to women in low-income communities to help start or expand small businesses. Founded on the principles of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, it aims to promote economic empowerment and financial independence. Borrowers often form groups for mutual support and accountability, which increases the likelihood of repayment. The organization also offers financial education and support to help clients succeed. By fostering entrepreneurship and building credit, Grameen America helps individuals improve their livelihoods and contribute to their communities.
