Grameen Foundation harnesses the power of mobile technology to deliver a vital mix of financial, agricultural and health services and information to the world’s poorest people. Our innovations enable women, smallholder farmers, and poor communities to build their assets, start small businesses, educate their children, protect their health, and strengthen their resilience.

Through combining digital expertise, local knowledge, and strategic partnerships we drive innovations that address specific needs of poor households, and enable families to thrive.

Grameen Foundation began in 1997, inspired by the work of Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank. Their microloans sparked innovation among the poorest of the poor, paving new paths to prosperity. 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.

It depends not only on digital expertise, but also on aligning the interests of resource-poor farmers, women, and partner institutions that can ensure innovative technologies reach all those who can benefit.

Our lessons and successes over the past year have further demonstrated the power of mobile technology in advancing financial inclusion, increasing farmers’ incomes and resilience, and improving health.

These successes have only been possible with the support of our donors and partners – and we deeply thank you.

In 1997, when Grameen Foundation was launched, more than one in three people in the world lived in extreme poverty. Today, that rate stands at under 15 percent. But, while remarkable, this progress also masks a more complex reality. Poverty rates are falling unevenly across countries, leaving pockets of persistent poverty that will likely be much harder to uproot, and income inequality has deepened. The burden of poverty also falls more heavily on women, as gender discrimination means that women have far fewer resources with which to cope.

To close these gaps and to end extreme poverty, the world’s poorest people need access to life-changing financial, agricultural, and health information and services. Today, digital and mobile technology offers unprecedented opportunities to expand such access and to help poor families end generations of poverty. Realizing this potential remains at the core of our mission.

As we look back on the past fiscal year, from April 2014 through March 2015, we are struck by the committed partnerships and pure grit involved in enabling mobile technology to truly serve the poor. Although it is relatively easy to build a cell phone application, it is far more challenging to design and roll out mobile technologies that meet the needs of women and men at the base of the economic pyramid.

Fiscal year 2014-2015 was one of transition for Grameen Foundation. It marked the last full year that founder Alex Counts served as President and CEO before transitioning those responsibilities to Steve Hollingworth.

Grameen Foundation staff work every day with organizations in the throes of change, as they adopt new technologies and ways of functioning, so we know the personal and organizational resources that make such change successful. We are thankful for Alex’s long tenure and visionary leadership, as he remains actively engaged as our Founder.

We look forward to building on the achievements of Grameen Foundation’s first 18 years, during which its innovations and partnerships benefitted 25 million people.

Our focus now, as when we began, is improving life for the world’s poorest people. We continue to draw inspiration from the work of Professor Muhammad Yunus, who founded the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 1983 to serve the poorest of the poor.

When microfinance goes mobile, possibilities abound. And it’s not only financial services that can be widely delivered to underserved communities. Agricultural and health information, services and training can all go digital.

A look at our three major programs: Financial Services, Mobile Agriculture and Mobile Health show how Grameen Foundation’s innovations have made a difference over the past year. Working directly in Colombia, Ghana, India, Kenya, the Philippines, and Uganda we have tackled key challenges to promote progress out of poverty.

Along the way, we have strengthened the ability of institutions to serve the poor, and built networks of local trainers who bridge the gaps in comfort or trust that arise when people adopt new technologies or engage with unfamiliar institutions.

The rural poor make up 90 percent of people who live on less than $1.25 per day. They typically lack basic financial services. Microloans, secure ways to save or make payments, and crop or health insurance are largely beyond the reach of some two billion people around the world.

But such financial access can be transformative—and can now reach millions more through mobile-enabled innovations.

As the 2014 Global Findex Database report notes, “When people participate in the financial system, they are better able to start and expand businesses, invest in education, manage risk, and absorb financial shocks.”

Grameen Foundation works with microfinance institutions, banks, mobile network operators and others to create, test and scale digital financial solutions that meet the needs of poor families and women.

TRIPLE LOCKS FOR GROUP SAVINGS IN UGANDA

“They [the members] like the security so much, since it’s just a SIM card that is being used. It is impossible for a thief to know that you have money kept on it — not like those big boxes, where anyone could see that you’re carrying money and hence rob you.”

— Namwase Sara, Kiyunga Youth Drama Group, Uganda

Almost a third of Ugandans use informal village savings groups because they are more convenient than formal bank accounts. Group members regularly save a fixed amount, sometimes as little as 20 cents a week, and savers can take out small loans. A triple-locked metal box stored in members’ homes typically holds these savings.

Working with two Ugandan institutions, Airtel Uganda and Plan Uganda, Grameen Foundation developed Airtel Weza, allowing savings groups to store their cash on a phone as mobile money. To provide group-level security, it requires each of three group members to enter individual pin numbers for withdrawals. The three also receive SMS confirmation

messages for each transaction. Within less than a year of its launch in April 2014, more than 250 groups (6,250 subscribers) in Uganda had registered for the service.

Also in Uganda, the Mobile Money Accelerator Program, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, enabled two financial institutions—Pride Microfinance and Centenary Bank—to extend their services to 121,000 Ugandans. Grameen Foundation partnered with the local technology company Cellulant to design a system that enables pro-poor financial institutions to plug into networks of mobile money operators. This allows customers to make deposits or payments via mobile money, simply by visiting their local mobile money agent. It saves users travel costs and time and reduces the security risks of carrying cash long distances.

[ ]Beginning in 2014, our Digital Financial Services program in Uganda has enabled 121,000 people to access digital products, increasing efficiency and decreasing risks for both clients and financial service providers.

INDIA’S RURAL WOMEN GET CONNECTED

The formal banking system does not reach most poor citizens in India. Only about 35 percent of adults—and 26 percent of women—have an account at a formal financial institution. Formal bank branches are distant from most poor rural communities, and banks have few incentives to build branches to serve poor and widely dispersed populations. On the other hand, many field-based microfinance institutions (MFIs) don’t have enough capital to meet the needs of all the people living in poor rural areas.

Grameen Foundation’s recent work in India is expanding financial inclusion for the poor by combining the strengths of commercial banks and of field-based microfinance organizations. We are working the MFI Margdarshak to transfom its network of field-based agents into “Business Correspondents” who can represent far-better resourced commercial banks.

The program is reaching out to 40,000 new customers, most of who are poor women in Uttar Pradesh, a state where three-quarters of the population lives on less than US$2.50 per day, and is scattered across 100,000 villages.

The project builds on previous Grameen Foundation work with the Indian microfinance organization Cashpor, which reached 150,000 new savers in Bihar State.

[ ]Grameen Foundation and our partner Cashpor engaged 150,000 of the rural poor in microsavings plans in Bihar State, India. We are now working with the microfinance institution Margdarshak to bring financial services to nearly 40,000 people, most of them women living on less than US $2.50/day in Uttar Pradesh.

SARI-SARI STORES OFFER DIGITAL IN THE PHILIPPINES

Of the Philippines 7,107 islands, more than one-third have no banking infrastructure, and only one-in-five people living in rural areas has an account with a financial institution. On the other hand, there are more than 500,000 registered “sari-sari” stores—the “mom and pop” stores of the Philippines, where rural people purchase goods daily. These locally accessible stores could serve as decentralized hubs providing mobile money and digital financial services.

To realize its vision of financial inclusion across the Philippines, Grameen Foundation is continuing its work with CARD Bank, the Philippines’ largest microfinance institution. Our partnership previously extended microsavings accounts to 481,500 people. The added security that formal savings services provides can be the difference between surviving an emergency — whether a natural disaster or a healthcare problem — and losing everything to it.

In 2014-15, we collaborated on a new program to help CARD provide mobile banking services that will enable its clients to repay loans, make payments, and conduct other transactions through a network of mobile agents, many based at sari-sari stores.

The ability of the world’s 500 million smallholder farm families to improve their productivity, connect to markets, and adapt to climate change will make the difference between a food secure world, and one that is increasingly hungry and malnourished. Yet many poor farmers—and especially women—have limited or no access to information or financial resources to improve their livelihoods.

We work with governments, the private sector, farmers’ associations, and civil society to empower farmers with relevant and timely information and financial services. Mobile programs also link farmers to large-scale buyers, enabling them to expand their farm enterprises and build their assets.We deliver these mAgriculture programs through community-based networks of advisors who are trusted by farmers.

COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE WORKERS LEAD IN COFFEE FIELDS

Meanwhile, through Lideres Productores, Community Knowledge Workers in Colombia work with coffee farmer cooperatives, increasing their productivity, connecting them to viable markets and helping them attain Starbucks’ C.A.F.E. (Coffee and Farmer Equity) certification for sustainable production practices. This certification enables farmers to sell to larger, better-paying coffee buyers.

As a Community Knowledge Worker, I feel confident making technical suggestions to other coffee farmers. Women farmers see me as an example to follow. Having women Community Knowledge Workers empowers women and the community.

– Mabel, Community Knowledge Worker, Colombia

DYNAMIC & DIGITAL AGRICULTURE IN GHANA

We expanded our mAgriculture initiative to Ghana, where we work with Farm Radio International and Digital Green to increase food security for farming communities in five regions. Together, we disseminate information on best agricultural practices and crops through mobile phones, radio, videos and agricultural extension officers that visit the communities. The project is supported by the New Alliance ICT Extension Challenge Fund, whose donors include the U.S. Government’s Feed the Future initiative through USAID and UK-Aid in the United Kingdom.

BACKYARD GARDENS FIGHT HUNGER IN COLOMBIA

“I like that I am constantly learning and my mother is very proud of me.”

– Jessica, Community Knowledge Worker, Colombia

Though farming is the backbone of Colombia’s economy, many poor families cannot get affordable, quality food and earn little from their crops. We work with the provincial Government of Antioquia to improve food security through MANA, a community backyard garden project supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). In addition, we help small-scale farmers grow more produce to sell in larger markets.

Using mobile phones and our TaroWorks™ app, government technicians collect information on food production across the community, and specially designated advisors train farmers on agricultural best practices. This has increased the supply of quality food in the community and enabled poor farming families to increase their incomes.

Globally, more than one-third of people do not have access to healthcare, and, every year, catastrophic health costs push about 100 million people into poverty. It is estimated that the effective delivery of health care to all will require an additional 10.3 million health workers. Educating this vast cohort will take time and resources that are not yet fully in hand. But mobile technology can help.

Grameen Foundation uses mobile phone technology to extend health services to poor populations: educating pregnant women and mothers about safe delivery and nutrition; and training community-based health workers to diagnose, treat, and monitor a range of conditions.

MOBILE HEALTH

[ ]Organizations in 15 countries are using MOTECH, Grameen Foundation’s mHealth platform. In India, MOTECH aims to reach more than 10 million pregnant women and mothers, and train more than 1 million healthcare workers by 2018.

HEALTH ON THE GO IN GHANA

“My volunteer alerted me using the mobile app about a woman who had a home delivery but had the placenta in the womb for hours... For me, that timely communication I received from the volunteer contributed to saving the life of the woman.”

— Stella Nuque, Community Health Nurse; Dokploame CHPS Compound

In Ghana, roughly one in 13 children dies before age five, and risk is highest during the first month of life. Our early work in mobile health included Mobile Midwife and Nurses Application in Ghana, which informed 24,000 pregnant women about safe motherhood and used mobile phone technology to help health workers better serve those women.

In 2014-15 we followed this work with the CHN on the Go (Community Health Nurse) app, piloted with Concern Worldwide, John Snow International and the Ghana Health Service. Its up-to-date medical reference and training guides provides professional development and support for nurses working in remote areas.

SCALING mHEALTH THROUGH MOTECH

The core technology for Mobile Midwife became the basis for MOTECH, an open-source tool to standardize and simplify mobile health programs globally. MOTECH is powerful enough to reach millions of people, and to inter-operate with national information and health systems. It works across key health service areas: behavior change, managing patient data, improving

www.grameenfoundation.org13

worker performance, strengthening last-mile supply chain, and improving patient adherence.

In 2014-15, our largest MOTECH program was in India, where we worked with the national government of India and BBC Media Action to pilot a program that will offer information services on maternal and child health to more than 10 million pregnant women and mothers of newborns, and train more than 1 million health care workers who serve them.

Grameen Foundation has developed tools and incubated organizations that support the entire community of poverty-fighting organizations. Hundreds of groups used these open-source, low-cost tools in 2014-15 to improve decision-making, collaboration, and impact tracking; to make service delivery more affordable and efficient; and to access finance.

BANKERS WITHOUT BORDERS® (BWB)Launched by Grameen Foundation in 2008, BwB is now the world’s largest reserve corps of professionals dedicated to social enterprise. Through collaborations with Fortune 500 companies such as JPMorgan Chase, Google and Wells Fargo, and through individual volunteer recruitment, BwB attracts a global talent pool of volunteers who provide consulting, coaching, and training services to over 210 social enterprises worldwide focused on poverty reduction. Since 2008, BwB volunteers have provided 279,000 hours worth $15.4M for 1,128 projects around the world.

GROWTH GUARANTEE PROGRAMBetween 2005 and 2015, this loan guarantee facility launched by Grameen Foundation facilitated $235 million in commercial capital to poverty-focused microfinance institutions and enabled more than 1.2 million people to receive microloans.

TOOLS AND PROGRAMS FOR THE ANTI-POVERTY COMMUNITY

www.grameenfoundation.org

PROGRESS OUT OF POVERTY INDEX® (PPI®) Building on Grameen Bank’s “10 Indicators of Poverty” that brought rigor and mission accountability to measuring the poverty reduction outcomes of its microfinance work, we developed a generic tool now used in dozens of countries for poverty measurement. As of March 31, 2015, at least 350 organizations were using the PPI. Together these organizations serve 133 million beneficiaries.

TAROWORKSTM

Since 2013, 65 social enterprises and nonprofits across 30 countries have used TaroWorks software to support 171,400 poor micro-entrepreneurs and improve the lives of 3.3 million poor beneficiaries. TaroWorks software enables organizations working in remote areas to collect data, monitor their impact and manage field operations in real-time using mobile devices. Grameen Foundation launched TaroWorks as an independent wholly owned LLC subsidiary in May 2015.
