Grameen Foundation helps the world’s poorest people

reach their full potential. We provide access to essential

financial services and information on agriculture and health,

assistance that addresses the specific needs of poor

households and communities. We also develop tools to

improve the effectiveness of poverty-focused organizations.

Grameen Foundation began in 1997 to harness the

underappreciated strengths of the poor, an approach

inspired by Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus

and the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. Professor Yunus

was a founding member of our Board of Directors

and today serves as member emeritus.

Our high standards and efficiency have been recognized

by Charity Navigator, the Better Business Bureau’s

Wise Giving Alliance and Guidestar’s Exchange Seal.

Some of the most resourceful and enterprising people we know live far away from Wall Street – and even Main Street. Their work goes largely unnoticed but the impact of their efforts can determine the future of countless families and communities.

We’ve met mothers, with babies strapped on to their backs, selling tortillas at the side of the road, farmers tending to tiny farms in remote villages and women selling airtime for mobile phones out of their shops. Their stories are powerful reminders that we all have an innate desire to improve our lives.

This past fiscal year (April 2012-March 2013) marked two key milestones for us: Grameen Foundation’s 15th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of our work in the Middle East and North Africa, through Grameen-Jameel Microfinance Limited.

Grameen Foundation was founded to enable the poor to lever-age their strengths. We believe that all of us – even the poorest among us – can reach our full potential if given access to the right tools. Building on our initial focus on microfinance and technology, we now work with a wide range of organizations to develop services and tools that meet the specific needs of the poor and the institutions that serve them.

For example, we are increasingly combining financing and mobile-based data management services to help social enter-prises (businesses that address social issues) expand their outreach and use data more effectively to improve their service. This is particularly beneficial to organizations working in rural areas, like Kenya-based Honey Care Africa, which works with smallholder farmers throughout rural areas of East Africa to produce and sell honey. We invested in the company through our Pioneer Fund to help it expand its wholesale and retail

distribution. It also uses TaroWorks™, our suite of mobile data tools, to monitor and track beehives and production targets.

Our collaborations across the international development and business sectors are also deepening our impact on poverty. Several organizations are using our Mobile Technology for Community Health (MOTECH) platform, which was originally developed with the Ghana Health Service, to advise clients on a range of health issues and to train healthcare workers via mobile phones. We have also co-sponsored the Fairtrade Access Fund with Fairtrade International and Inconfin Investment Management to provide much-needed, long-term financing to smallholder famers in developing countries, starting in Latin America. In addition, we have placed more than 1,400 skilled professionals at organizations around the world through Bankers without Borders®, our volunteer initiative.

Your shared belief in the innate potential of poor people around the world makes this possible. Thank you for your support, commitment and dedication in helping us give the poor the tools they need to improve their families’ lives and their communities.

A LittLe KnowLedge goes A Long wAy in CoLombiA

Making ends meet was difficult for Eliseo Gonzalez Angel, a middle-aged cacao farmer in Compo Dos, Colombia. But it is easier now thanks to Grameen Foundation’s efforts to bring agricultural knowledge to Colombia’s rural poor.

Not only does Angel face the uncertainty of farming in the Norte de Santander Region, an area with a long history of guerilla violence, but he has also faced various farming challenges, including squir-rels that would eat his plants. Things got better for Angel after he connected with his local Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) in July 2012. Trained by Grameen Foundation, his CKW uses a smartphone to access and give farmers a range of information, including crop management and market prices for their goods. Farmers also receive information on becoming Fairtrade-certified, which typically earns them a better price for their harvests. Angel is now on track to be Fairtrade certified as a member of Asocati, an agricultural cooperative that is work-ing with Grameen Foundation. Cooperatives help farmers like Eliseo sell their cacao, which is used to make chocolate.

“I have used the [CKW] system four times now. Each time the information has been very useful,” said Angel, who suffered a disastrous loss two

years ago. “My farm was devastated by the winter flooding and I lost all my crops. Now I’m in the process of reestablishing my cacao crop, so I appreciate knowing that, if I need any information, I can get it immedi-ately instead of having to wait for an expert to come visit me.”

Our Americas team, with leadership support from Chiapas International and MasterCard Worldwide, is helping poor farmers improve their businesses through access to financial services and critical information on agriculture. We adapted our CKW program – originally implemented in Uganda – to Colombia and established local partnerships with farmer cooperatives and agribusinesses to support plantain and cacao farmers in Tibú-Norte de Santander and Urabá. Like their counterparts in Uganda, the CKWs use smartphones to access information on farming techniques, pest and disease control, and market prices for farmers. We launched our pilot programs in mid-July 2012, reaching almost 500 farmers by the end of the fiscal year. Forty-seven percent of the farmers we served live on less than $2.50 per day, and 37 percent of them are women.

In late 2012, we joined with Fairtrade International and Incofin Investment Management to launch the Fairtrade Access Fund, an impact investment fund designed to tackle the unmet demand for long-term financing among smallholder farmers

in developing countries. The fund provides well-run, Fairtrade-certified (or certification-pending) producer organizations with long- and short-term loans to help build their members’ businesses. The fund has invested $1.79 million in four institutions, including Cocafcal in Honduras and Ucasuman in Nicaragua. They used the money to purchase coffee from their member farmers during the harvesting period when prices are typically low. Without the funding, farmers would be forced to either wait for prices to rise and face potential financial hardship during that time, or accept a lower price for immediate payment from another buyer.

We have also made significant strides in our efforts to promote rigorous, transparent measurement of poverty outreach outcomes. In the last year, our Progress out of Poverty Index® (PPI®) has become an industry standard for measuring poverty reduc-tion across the international development sector. The PPI is now used by more than 91 organizations in Latin America, including microfinance institutions and networks, agribusinesses, and agricultural cooperatives.

Grameen Foundation’s Last Mile Initiative is helping poor, rural people in Latin America improve their lives.

entrepreneuriAL spirit shines in indonesiA

For Ibu Marni, a 44-year-old mother of two, life in the village of Kunciran outside the Indonesian capital of Jakarta used to be a continual struggle. She had spent years running different businesses out of her home, ranging from selling groceries to renting out video games, only to watch each fall off due to rising costs, increased competition and complaints from neighbors. Each attempt put her

deeper into debt, and when her husband lost his job as a construction worker, she struggled to find new ways to support her family. An optimist with an entrepreneurial spirit, she never gave up.

In 2009 she found a sustainable business: sell-ing airtime for mobile phones as a Village Phone Operator. The profits helped her to pay for her son’s college tuition and to expand their tiny house.

Grameen Foundation established the program with support from Qualcomm’s Wireless Reach™. Both organizations later nurtured and helped Ruma, an Indonesian social enterprise, which now manages the program.

Impressed by Ibu Marni’s great people skills and rich knowledge of the needs of operators and their clients, we hired her as a field officer in 2010. Her friendly character, mature attitude and ability to mingle with new people are also great strengths, especially in poor communities. She can easily start a conversation with women who may not be as comfortable talking to a male field officer.

As her technological and financial literacy continue to improve, she plans to create her own coopera-tive to provide capital to other poor entrepreneurs, such as coffee vendors. She has learned that by helping others start up small home-based busi-nesses, they can rise up together from poverty.

Through Grameen Foundation’s Microsavings Initiative, a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, we are helping Cashpor Micro Credit in India and CARD Bank in the Philippines to broaden access to safe, flexible and convenient savings accounts for the poor. We helped CARD Bank create a new savings product for its poorer clientele as well as a system for them to access money from ATM machines. We also helped Cashpor develop a mobile-based savings product for its clients and used that experience to launch a similar service for CARD Bank’s clients. In the last fiscal year, Cashpor and CARD Bank added more than 204,000 new savers, combined.

Our work over the past four years has demon-strated that poor people can and will save for future needs if they have a safe, convenient way to store and access their money. We are using our experience and research to design other mobile-based financial services and share them broadly with other organizations that wish to provide them.

In India, our Mobile Technology for Community Health (MOTECH) platform is enabling other orga-nizations to address health concerns using cus-tomized mobile applications. The platform is open source, which allows organizations to develop and manage mobile health solutions more quickly and with fewer technical resources. In partnership with Johnson & Johnson, we successfully launched Treatment Advice by Mobile Alerts (TAMA) in Bihar, Ibu Marni is helping Grameen Foundation to bring new

business opportunities to Indonesia.

one of India’s poorest states. The system sends reminders to help HIV/AIDS patients follow their treatment schedules, and also alerts nurses when patients miss appointments. BBC Media Action also used the platform to launch Mobile Kunji, a service that enables frontline health workers to access and play audio recordings that supple-ment the instructions they are giving to pregnant women. Since its launch in May 2012, Mobile Kunji has helped almost 75,000 unique users and has dispensed 1.4 million minutes of recorded advice.

Our commitment to alleviating poverty in India continues through the work of Grameen Founda-tion India and Grameen Capital India. Grameen Foundation India, our wholly-owned subsidiary, is working with local microfinance organizations to expand rigorous poverty measurement using the Progress out of Poverty Index®. Grameen Capital India, a social investment bank that we cofounded with IFMR Trust and Citicorp Finance, secured its first local investor Indian investors. Since its founding in 2008, it has facilitated $127 million in funding to Indian social enterprises.

We are also expanding TaroWorks™, our suite of Android-based applications that enable social enterprises to track, manage and support their remote and rural field staff via mobile phones. TaroWorks was developed using insights from our work in Indonesia and is now used by 16 poverty-focused organizations globally.

Grameen Foundation is helping India’s poor save for the future.

Each week until she gave birth, Mariatu Manafo got messages from Mobile Midwife that helped her through her pregnancy. The service sends pre-recorded messages about health and nutrition via mobile phones to women during pregnancy and after the baby is born. It also alerts clients and nurses when appointments are due or are missed. It is part of the Mobile Technology for Community Health (MOTECH) Ghana initiative, which is a col-laboration of Grameen Foundation and the Ghana Health Service.

Mariatu, who lives in southern Ghana, registered for Mobile Midwife during her first trimester. She had lost two earlier pregnancies, partly because she had relied on advice about herbal medica-tions and diet restrictions from friends and family members. Listening to the weekly messages made a big difference, and now she has a beauti-ful daughter named Salamatu. Her husband Nuru also regularly listened to the content with her. When they heard about the importance of eating more fruit during pregnancy, he started bringing fruit home for her.

Mariatu says she is a living testimony to the efficacy of Mobile Midwife. Previously, she did not have the necessary information to make good

decisions regarding her unborn child. She did not know what kinds of food to eat and when to go for prenatal check-ups. She had taken certain symptoms lightly during her previous pregnancies, but after listening to the messages she became more vigilant about monitoring her health. Mobile Midwife also offers advice that has helped keep

Salamatu healthy even after birth. Some of the messages recommended using insecticide-treated mosquito nets to prevent malaria, and regularly vis-iting the clinic for malaria drugs during pregnancy.

Nuru is thankful for Mobile Midwife, especially the messages that encouraged his wife to go to the health facility for delivery. He is proud to be the father of a beautiful girl, whom he christened “the MOTECH baby.”

Our teams in Kenya and Uganda are leading several efforts to develop the next generation of products and services that meet the needs of the poor. Through the CGAP MTN Innovation initia-tive, we worked with MTN Uganda, the country’s largest telecommunications company, to build financial products to be delivered via mobile to the poor. We are also collaborating with Barclays Bank to sustainably provide mobile financial services to poor households in Uganda through Village Sav-ings and Loan Associations (VSLAs). Our Barclays Innovation Project will build on existing work being done with VSLAs through Banking on Change, a partnership between Barclays, CARE International UK and PLAN UK.

In Kenya, we are working with Musoni Kenya, a microfinance institution that provides services completely via mobile phones, to expand to rural

areas. With support from MasterCard Worldwide, we are helping Musoni develop a new agricultural loan product for rural areas, integrate the Progress out of Poverty Index® into its operations, and expand its use of SMS mobile services.

We are also extending the reach of our mobile agriculture and health work in Uganda and Ghana. Our Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) initia-tive, launched in 2010, now reaches more than 169,000 farmers and their families in almost 18,000 villages across Uganda. By the end of the last fiscal year, our network of 1,139 CKWs had more than 1.5 million interactions with farmers. We have also extended the CKW platform to Colombia and Kenya.

In Ghana, our Mobile Technology for Community Health (MOTECH) initiative, which is supported by Savings Lives at Birth: A Grand Challenge for Development, is now available in the Upper East and Central Regions. Through our partnership with the Ghana Health Service, almost 6,500 pregnant women and mothers of infants registered for the Mobile Midwife service in the last fiscal year. Since its launch in 2010, more than 14,600 people have registered for the service, which provides important information on pregnancy and infant care in four local languages. In addition, 58 rural health facilities are using MOTECH to better manage client data and to improve the quality of care they provide.

In 2002, the Abdul Latif Jameel Group and Grameen Foundation began exploring ways to expand microfinance activities across the Middle East and North Africa. One year later, we launched the Grameen-Jameel Initiative. In 2007, we established Grameen-Jameel Microfinance Limited, a joint venture between Grameen Foundation and Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives, a subsidiary of the Abdul Latif Jameel Group.

Headquartered in Dubai, Grameen-Jameel provides financial and customized technical assistance to microfinance institutions in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey. Modeled after the social business concept championed by Professor Muhammad Yunus, it reinvests profits into the business rather than distributing dividends, which keeps capital flowing into the hands of borrowers who need it.

Since its founding, Grameen-Jameel has helped 20 microfinance institutions serve more than 2 million clients. In 2007, it joined with the Consultative Group to

Assist the Poor (CGAP) and Sanabel, an association for microfinance institu-tions, to launch the Arabic Microfinance Gateway as a repository of news and information for microfinance practitio-ners across the region.

Building on its initial work during the Arab Spring, Grameen-Jameel supports microfinance institutions in countries facing political and economic challenges and also forges strategic collaborations with other organizations working in the region.

The 12 months that ended March 31, 2013 (FY13), represented a year of implementation and progress following the adoption of a new stra-tegic plan in FY12. We saw large growth in both our program service income and government grants due to our increased focus on sustaining and scaling proven programs. Our total revenue increased by nearly 20% to $21.2 million. Our spending on program activities increased to $21.2 million – the highest level ever – and we provided another $8.8 million in financing to microfinance institutions and social businesses around the globe (which leveraged an additional $17.4 million in local financing for them).

Grameen Foundation ended the year on solid financial footing with total cash and investments of $11.0 million and total net assets of $16.5 million. Though our year-end cash position declined due to the reimbursement nature of program service income and government fund-ing, unrestricted net assets continued to grow.

Since 2011, Grameen Foundation and MasterCard have col-laborated to help poor people improve their lives through mobile technology. MasterCard has provided more than $1 million in funding and its skilled staff has already volunteered more than 4,000 hours to support our global work and initia-tives, including projects in Colombia, Kenya, and Indonesia. Its anchor support is helping us provide agricultural informa-tion and financial access to Colombia’s rural poor, primarily smallholder farmers, via mobile phones. MasterCard is also enabling us to help Kenya-based Musoni, a mobile-based microfinance institution, extend its services into rural areas, and to expand TaroWorks, our mobile-enabled suite of tools that help social enterprise manage their operations and workforce.

“We strongly believe in giving people the tools they need to provide for themselves and to be informed, active participants in the global economy,” said Ajay Banga, President and CEO of MasterCard. “Through our work with Grameen Foundation, we are helping to promote entrepreneurship and economic empowerment in underserved communities as a path towards financial inclusion.”

In addition, through Bankers without Borders®, our global volunteer initiative, we are helping MasterCard integrate skills-based volunteer projects into its work with other grantees.

David  Russell, his wife, Susan, and son, David, have been strongly devoted to pov-erty alleviation since the early 1990’s when they  become supporters of the Trickle Up Program in New York City after learn-ing of Grameen Bank’s work from a “60 Minutes” television segment.   Mr. Russell  joined Grameen Foundation’s board in 2007 after returning from several years in Europe.  “It’s a privilege to be able to serve and contribute to the work being done by Grameen Foundation, which we feel is on the cutting edge of finding practical, mea-surable, and accountable solutions for the poorest of the poor to achieve dignified, sustainable livelihoods,” he said.

Last year, Grameen Foundation launched its Last Mile Initiative to support its holistic approach to ending rural poverty in Latin America. Noting that the campaign “brings together the best of what Grameen Foundation does,” Mr. Russell and his wife have offered a matching gift opportunity of up to $500,000. “We believe that combining access to financial and information services in this way for the people who need it most will enable them to help themselves get out of poverty.” To learn more about the Rus-sells’ matching gift, visit www.grameenfoundation.org/where-we-work/americas.
