EFUND, a sister organization within the ECLOF Network, recently welcomed management and key staff from ECLOF Philippines, JSC MICROFIN Georgia, and ECLOF Armenia UCO to its Business Center in Armenia for an exchange. The gathering created a space for open dialogue.

With deep roots in the ECLOF network, EFUND, established in 2002, is an Armenian foundation seeking positive social impact through engagement in microfinance, rural development and related activities in Armenia and beyond. EFUND is a member of the European Microfinance Network, the Republican Union of Employers of Armenia, and the Agricultural Alliance of the Republic of Armenia, and is an initiator and active supporter of the ECLOF Armenia UCO.

Participants shared their organisational and operational experiences, country perspective, discussed current challenges, and strengthened professional and personal connections. Meetings with clients and moments of shared prayer reinforced a common commitment to justice, solidarity, cooperation, and transparency.

A highlight of the meeting was the blessing message from his Grace Bishop Vardan Navassardyan, member of the EFUND Board of Trustees, reminding participants of the shared purpose guiding their work. EFUND remains committed to fostering collaboration and looks forward to continuing and expanding such initiatives across the ECLOF Network.
