🚀🤩 Today we’re highlighting Oikocredit partner Asociación Costa Rica Grameen and its clients. Among them is Karla Patricia Velásquez Carvajal, who loves the independence and autonomy of running her own grocery store in Costa Rica. She has been able to grow her business from selling vegetables to a wider range of groceries thanks to loans from Costa Rica Grameen. “The loans help me a lot because they allow me to do other things, if opportunities present themselves. If some ideas don’t work out, I can move another way,” she says. That flexibility is invaluable in business. It’s one way our 500+ partners are transforming livelihoods and supporting stronger communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. 👉 Read about our partners and their customers in our Impact Report 2024, out now. https://lnkd.in/e5Di7Bxy

Oikocredit announces the exit of its equity investment in Aseguradora Tajy (Tajy) today. With the move, we’re reminded of the powerful impact that strategic investments can have on communities. Since 2019, we've watched Tajy grow, innovate, and empower thousands of smallholder farmers and low-income families in Paraguay. Tajy has demonstrated remarkable resilience over the past five years, helping its customers overcoming significant business challenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and the La Niña climate phenomenon, which have affected the agricultural sector and the Paraguayan insurance industry. We’re glad to have been part of the journey and we wish Tajy every success on the road ahead. The exit allows Oikocredit to redeploy resources towards new opportunities. We’ll be continuing to work with companies that uplift and inspire underserved communities around the world. 🌱🌍 Read the press release here: https://lnkd.in/eihqfJTZ

📜 As we approach our 50th anniversary, we are proud to count on a community of around 45,000 private individuals that supports our mission of financial equity and community resilience. Our journey is rooted in collaboration. Our roots trace back to 1968 when delegates at the World Council of Churches’ 4th Assembly in Uppsala asked how they could mobilise excess liquidity for good. Seven years later, Oikocredit was founded to promote responsible investing and create opportunities for people on low incomes to become more resilient and live a life of dignity. As our Managing Director Mirjam t Lam said, “One of the things I'm very proud of is that year after year, we can reach more people with the work we do.” She was talking to Rev. Dr Kenneth Mtata. Thanks, Dr Mtata! Listen to the interview on YouTube & Spotify below!
In a recent discussion, Rev. Dr. Kenneth Mtata, WCC programme director for Public Witness and Diakonia, and Mirjam ’t Lam, Oikocredit’s managing director, explored how faith and finance intersect to drive economic justice globally. Rooted in their ecumenical foundations, Oikocredit continues to empower low-income communities through sustainable development. Our collaboration with Oikocredit showcases the powerful impact of faith-led initiatives in fostering a more just world.
