In Myanmar, 70% of the adult population is financially excluded, they remain unbanked or are only informally served. With experience operating in fragile contexts as part of a global network of mission-focused MFIs, we work to actively support financially underserved communities, especially farmers, low-income women, conflict-affected groups, PWDs (People with Disabilities), IDPs (Internally Displaced People), and migrant factory workers. We also provide training on digital literacy, financial literacy, and business management to assist our clients to develop thriving businesses through appropriate use of financial services.
Join us as we continue to strive for a financially inclusive future for all.
VisionFund is working towards a more inclusive and prosperous future for all, focusing on financial inclusion, child well-being, and poverty alleviation.
Well-Being: Child Well-Being forms the foundation of all our loans, savings, and insurance products. We are committed to ensuring our financial services impact the well-being of children and families. A child living in a household that has access to financial services and increased family income, is more likely to have nutritious food, clean water, a proper education, and the health services they need to grow up and thrive.
Poverty Alleviation: VisionFund's initiatives are aimed at reducing poverty levels, increasing income levels, and providing more secure employment opportunities. By providing affordable and accessible loans to small businesses and micro-entrepreneurs, we aim to stimulate economic growth and development in the regions we operate in.
