Each year, CUFA reaches more than 4,000,000 people, directly and indirectly, through our projects across 14 countries. Our aim is to help each of these people lift themselves out of poverty through the establishment of grassroots financial institutions, through education programs, through enterprise initiatives and by facilitating employment opportunities. We help people participate in their communities and economies.
CUFA staff work hard each day to ensure that the resources entrusted to us by all our precious supporters are used as efficiently and effectively as possible. Our goal is to achieve maximum impact in each of the communities we work.
