Our values People Oikocredit supports organisations that provide financial opportunities to disadvantaged people irrespective of their faith, culture, age or gender. Sharing Oikocredit provides a vehicle for meaningful sharing. An uneven distribution of resources, wealth and power can lead to conflict.

Grassroots Development is most effective when it stems from grassroots. In the cooperative culture of Oikocredit, people's initiatives and participation are central to all acts and policies. Integrity Respect between people implies honesty and truthfulness. Oikocredit is determined to listen with an open mind and communicate in full transparency on all parameters of its own policies. Environment A balanced ecosystem is the basis for life and as such, should be preserved. Oikocredit believes that a healthy balance in nature can only be achieved in a world where resources and power are spread evenly.
