Thanks to the dedication and generosity of UK supporters, thousands more people - including those in remote, isolated areas of some of the world's poorest countries - now have access to small loans, a secure place to keep their savings, micro insurance and essential financial education.
Perhaps more importantly, their sense of security, dignity and hope for the future has increased.
