Launching Access for the Underserved (2023)

In 2023, Africa Village Microfinance Share Company (AVMF S.C.) took a bold step toward empowering rural Ethiopians. With its expansion into new districts, AVMF S.C. launched tailored micro-loans for smallholder farmers, women, and low income families, a segment often neglected by traditional banks.

   Mobile Banking Brings Finance Home

One of the standout moves was the pilot launch of mobile banking across three rural regions. This allowed over 3,000 customers to manage savings and access credit using just a mobile phone, bringing banking closer to the heart of rural households.

   Financial Literacy for Stronger Communities

Beyond loans, AVMF S.C. trained thousands in basic finance through over 100 community workshops. This educational push helped families learn to save, budget, and grow their income sustainably, reinforcing AVMF’s belief that knowledge is the foundation of financial freedom.

Conclusion

Africa Village Microfinance S.C. continues to lead with innovation, inclusion, and impact. From rural outreach to green finance and digital transformation, AVMF S.C. is building a stronger, more equitable financial future for Ethiopia. The journey has just begun.
