About the organisation
Good Shepherd Microfinance is a leader in financial inclusion products, programs and advisory services. We offer safe, fair and affordable financial programs to people on low incomes and advisory services for governments, businesses and other organisations. Our purpose is to enable economic wellbeing for people on low incomes, especially women and girls.
Our programs are backed by strong partnerships across sectors.
We can’t achieve our audacious goals alone, so we partner with a diverse range of community organisations, Federal and State Governments and corporate stakeholders to get the most meaningful outcomes for our clients, as they define them. We have partnered with NAB since 2003, and they provide us with access to $130 million in loan capital.
Here is an example of the impact our collective work can have on one person:
