Aga Khan Agency for Microfinance

Since then, AKAM has helped individuals, households and small businesses across several countries to achieve financial self reliance. We have established and developed microfinance institutions offering loans to underserved populations, tailored to needs ranging from home sanitation infrastructure to livestock acquisition. Other services include opening savings accounts and handling remittances, facilitated by digital banking channels.

Over the years, these institutions have established a presence for themselves in their respective markets. As they evolve into self-supporting commercial entities, we transfer part or whole of their ownership to other agencies within or outside AKDN. We then withdraw from their operations to refocus resources towards developing new areas.
