Mission statement:	ACCION'S MISSION Our mission is to give people the financial tools they need to improve their lives. Our Vision Our vision is to build a financially inclusive world with access to economic opportunity for all. Our Belief We believe in a financially inclusive world—one in which every individual can seize the opportunity to access a full range of high-quality, affordable financial services. Through access, each person we serve can capitalize on his or her own capability and drive to achieve real economic gains—and build brighter futures for themselves and their families. THE CENTER FOR FINANCIAL INCLUSION at ACCION'S MISSION The Center for Financial Inclusion at Accion (CFI) was launched in 2008 to help bring about the conditions to achieve full financial inclusion around the world. Constructing a financial inclusion sector that reaches everyone with quality services will require the combined efforts of many actors.
