The MicroInsurance Centre, LLC
 
 
Mission statement: 

MicroInsurance Centre LLC. Is dedicated to creating microinsurance products that are good for the poor.
History: 

Since its inception as an initiative of MicroSave, The MicroInsurance Centre has worked on several levels to promote responsible microinsurance.

It is critical that when these products are developed, they are done so in a responsible, professional, legal, and prudent manner. This is what The MicroInsurance Centre advocates through its writings and activities. In many ways, these activities and writings have set the agenda for microinsurance.



The potential for microinsurance is huge. The MicroInsurance Centre recently conducted a comprehensive landscape study of low-income people in the world`s 100 poorest countries finding that only 3% or 78 million are covered by formal microinsurance.
