What we do
Oikocredit is guided by the principle of empowering low-income people to improve their livelihoods. We support partner organizations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America by providing loans, equity investments, and capacity building.
Creating social impact
Social impact is at the heart of Oikocredit’s work. Through our network of local staff, we’re able to respond to the needs of our partners and offer solutions that go beyond financing.
We prioritize social impact while safeguarding the environment and generating fair financial returns for our investors.
Supported by our members and investors
Oikocredit was founded in 1975 as an ethical investment channel. The cooperative is privately financed by individuals and institutions who want to use their money for positive change. Oikocredit’s loyal and committed community of cooperative members and investors enables us to provide long-term capital to our partners.
