Worldwide, there are 800 million youth living on less than $2 a day. Most are economically involved and are actively supporting their parents and siblings. Microfinance, combined with access to mentoring, training, life skills and other education may facilitate the transition of youth into adulthood and dramatically improve their livelihoods.

Our programs will seek to:

• Mainstream outreach to youth in microfinance through the development of appropriate products and services. This includes technology-based solutions.
• Foster collaboration and learning between youth-serving organizations and microfinance practitioners
• Provide training and learning opportunities to enable poor youth to utilize microfinance
• Build the capacity of microfinance practitioners to reach youth
