European Microfinance Award 2016 on Microfinance and Access to Education Brochure

In 2016 the European Microfinance Award focused on Microfinance and Access to Education as increasing both the level of access and quality of education among low-income populations in poor countries is very difficult. This new brochure presents the background on the Award, outlines the selection process, the Award ceremony and showcases the Award winner (Kashf Foundation, Pakistan) and the two finalists (Fundación Génesis Empresarial, Guatemala and Opportunity Bank Uganda Limited); demonstrating how these institutions play an important role in both supporting families and students in managing their education related financial needs, and also providing financial and non-financial services to educational providers.
