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.

🆕The second quarter of 2024 was both positive and challenging for us. We stayed on track with our 2022-2026 strategy and achieved a good net result for the year to date of €3.2m. With our credit partners’ ability to repay under pressure from external economic circumstances, we continue with intensified monitoring to understand and address the difficulties they and our end-clients face. The positive overall financial result provides us with a cushion in these times of uncertainty and volatility. 👉 Find out more about our work in Q2 2024: https://lnkd.in/dRGP-We5

Patricia Hernandez, 32, built her own home with financing of USD 17,000 from our partner Habitat El Salvador. Now, she says, her children won’t be affected by frequent evictions – and she have a solid foundation to build a future for the entire family. For more than 15 years, we have been working with Hábitat para la Humanidad El Salvador, supporting home improvement loans to families with low incomes. The money has helped fund housing construction, expansion and improvement, including installing water and hygiene facilities. Investing in affordable homes isn’t just about providing shelter. It creates a ripple effect that supports resilient, thriving communities. “Housing financing is a trigger for family development, as it contributes to improving self-esteem, habitability, health, education, hygiene, and child development, among others,” he says Hábitat El Salvador’s Ernesto Tobar. The partnership has also trained more than 16,200 people trained in financial education. “Overall, a community-focused approach is a holistic approach that not only addresses immediate financial needs but also fosters long-term sustainable development and social cohesion,” says Oikocredit’s Humberto Ulloa. With affordable housing, we’re building stronger communities – it’s all in our Impact Report 2024.

🤝Partnership alert! Farmers struggle to obtain the funds they need to grow their businesses. Oikocredit and @IDH have worked to ease the pain by providing loans to cooperatives and SMEs who work with smallholders. Now, we’re taking a systemic approach to embed efficiency across the lending process with a view to closing the estimated $450bn smallholder finance faster. A new agreement will see Oikocredit and the IDH Farmfit Fund combine expertise, align sourcing and investment strategies, as well as share risks and provide technical assistance as required. We’re hoping systemic change can spark sustainable success for smallholders. 🌾🧑🌾 📈 #BeTheChange #FarmFinance #SDG2 https://lnkd.in/ek_z5iEB

🌍💼 We're proud to share news of our new partnership with @Ailos in support of Brazil’s economic backbone: micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), with help from Water.org As part of the agreement, two Ailos affiliates, Acredicoop – Cooperativa Ailos and Evolua – Cooperativa Ailos receive $1 million to support SMEs in their portfolios. Despite their critical role, Brazilian MSMEs face a massive financing gap, estimated at between $400 and $600 billion. By funding these businesses, we're not only helping them succeed but also contributing to broader economic stability and job creation. The collaboration is the first step for Oikocredit and Ailos to build a robust working relationship and gather valuable experience for future ventures. 🌟 #SMEFunding #Brazil #BeTheChange https://lnkd.in/exWaHpJf

📢Success story! Western Africa produces around half the global output of raw cashew nuts. But traders must rely on shelling units in Asia before the crop can reach consumers. Africa only accounts for a small percentage of shelling facilities, partly because of the prevalence of informal trade. We’re pleased to report that an innovative business monitoring tool has shown how the industry can be strengthened to help improve local cashew processing capacity. Trialled in Côte d'Ivoire, the Cash-flow let cashew flow tool integrates technical and financial information to provide a holistic view of business operations. Local cashew enterprises now have the insights they need to obtain business finance and expand their operations to process more of their crop locally. Now the Association of Cashew Processors of Côte d'Ivoire (GIC-CI) has announced plans to publish materials and train cashew processors in the use of the tool, indicating its potential for driving growth and innovation across the sector. That’s sustainable growth in action! Get your fill here: https://lnkd.in/emhNzQEc 👩🌾🌍💸 Thanks to our partners CBI, Away4Africa, ECOCAJOU SA and CILAGRI-CAJOU. #Africa #cashew #Cashflowletcashewflow #SME #SDGs

🌟✏️ Project update! With our partner Opportunity International, we’re helping finance and build capacity at 15 financial institutions in Africa, Asia and Latin America. We’ve already invested $20 million so far. It’s part of an initiative to help 2.2 million children in 6,600 schools across low- and middle-income countries. Together, we’re working to close the market gap for school improvement loans, and to bolster affordable schools with they finance they need to accept more children, offer more extracurricular opportunities and increase the quality of their services. However, without sufficient financial and capacity support, they will not be able to meet this need. See how we’re helping create a brighter future for all kids, together with Ed Partners Africa. https://lnkd.in/enk4EZE5 💪🎒 #EdFinance #ImpactInvesting #BeTheChange
