Who We Are

About Us

The Micro Insurance Academy (MIA) is a project of Sarvajan Unnati Bodhini Charitable Trust. The MIA is a not-for-profit organization fully dedicated to providing structured technical assistance in microinsurance domain-knowledge to organisations that focus on low-income communities.  

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower and enable poor communities to play an active role reducing their financial vulnerabilities through innovative approaches in microinsurance.  

Our Vision

For every person to have access to relevant risk management techniques to improve their livelihoods and uplift themselves out of poverty. 

MIA's Approach

The MIA conducts state of the art research to build a comprehensive knowledge base within the sector and develop efficient tools and frameworks for successful integration of microinsurance schemes into the existing social protection structures. Our microinsurance schemes offer superior information technology systems and links to reinsurance to enhance operational management and sustainability. Our schemes are also complimentary by nature, meaning that they build on existing capacities within communities and enhance public systems.
