The BBVA Microfinance Foundation has been created to promote the financial inclusiveness of less privileged people and therefore contribute to the achievement of a better standard of living for both themselves and their families.
The Foundation is building a global network of microfinance institutions, initially focusing on Latin America. Such institutions will provide their far-reaching knowledge of the industry and the local market in which they operate, while the Foundation will contribute a scale economy and the synergies that this kind of network can offer.
Microfinance has become an efficient instrument to empower millions of people, who have been able to carry out their initiatives or find the economic stability necessary to achieve a better standard of living and thus reduce their vulnerability.
