Our work over the next five years will be underpinned by the Strategic Plan, 2020-2024, with objectives and targets clearly set out to ensure we achieve the plan and remain true to our mission and values. Below is a summary of our strategic priority areas and targets.
Working closely with dedicated local partners and credit union movements in the developing countries of Ethiopia, The Gambia and Sierra Leone, the Foundation assists in building an equitable financial environment for all by providing access to education and affordable, ethical saving and loan products.
