Entrepreneurial approaches to provide critical services
Acumen Fund’s investments in Pakistan are supporting innovative business models that provide affordable, legal housing and finance services for thousands.
Kashf is a pioneer in extending access to financial products to poor customers.
Despite its clear progress and rapid economic development in recent years, the poverty rate in Pakistan is reported to be between 23% – 28%.
Acumen Fund’s work in Pakistan has initially focused on the housing sector, supporting market-based approaches that provide former squatters and slum-dwellers with affordable housing and infrastructure services, as well as innovative financial services that allow borrowers to improve incomes and households.
Our team in Pakistan is actively exploring potential investments in housing, healthcare, water and energy services for low-income customers, seeking sustainable, scaleable businesses that use market-based approaches to deliver products and services, such as the transfer of irrigation technologies to improve incomes for small farmers.
