BURO | Home
BURO Bangladesh is a national ‘not-for-profit’ organization that was set up in 1990 with a view to working for the poor on sustainable basis to reduce poverty. It is a specialized micro-finance institution that provides high quality flexible financial services to low-income people, particularly the women, who are regarded as its prime customers. They are indeed the conduit for channeling resources into the households for reduction of poverty. The organization is responsive to diverse financial needs of customers. To meet their ever-growing financial needs, it has launched six loan products, three savings products and one insurance scheme. In addition, it provides agriculture loans to small and marginal farmers and stepped up loans to the graduated clients called enterprise loan. The organization has also a disaster mitigation program for the affected people in the microfinance system. The organization was one of the first MFIs in the country to articulate a clear, unequivocal commitment to achieve financial sustainability, and establish itself as an independent institution. Since then, it has been achieving milestones of success and eventually attained financial sustainability.
