Helping Communities Manage risks from the ground up.

Low-income households are commonly faced with high out-of-pocket expenditures on health care, funerals, and agriculture losses. In response to these expenses, they may be forced to borrow money at high-interest rates or sell productive assets. By addressing this challenge through microinsurance, the MIA is contributing towards MDG 1: Ending Poverty and Hunger. The micro health insurance schemes supported by the MIA are inclusive of children and  maternal health services, thereby seek achievement of MDGs 4 and 5: Child and Maternal Health. Our commitment to knowledge-sharing and cooperation with other actors in the microinsurance community shows efforts in line with MDG 8: Achieving Global Partnerships.
