What makes World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) unique from other organizations that support microfinance?
At World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), we help provide people living in poverty around the world access to an array of affordable, quality and sustainable financial services through credit unions. As we strengthen credit unions across the globe, we seek to empower people by giving them ownership in financial cooperatives, organizations in which they have a vote and access to safe savings and loans to help improve their financial well being and, by extension, the communities in which they live and work. The impact we’ve had worldwide demonstrates that WOCCU’s approach to financial empowerment is generally more successful and sustainable than simple microlending programs.
