Reaching More Poor People with Microfinance Five years ago, we challenged ourselves to: (1) play a central role in making it possible for our global network of partners to reach an additional five million poor people, especially women (2) measure the progress of clients to ensure that they are moving out of poverty, and (3) champion three innovations that advance the microfinance sector. We have had a great deal of success achieving our goals. Number of Active Clients Region/ Country
