Diaconia MDI was founded by AMAS on the Christian diaconal principle of service to those in need.

The purpose of the institution was to improve the livelihood of the poor by developing inclusive financial services to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in order to transform lives, build communities, and expand opportunities.

The AMAS-ambition was to provide operational and financial sustainability, high loan portfolio quality and increased savings mobilization. Key performance indicators included the number of clients served and job creation in enterprises.

DMDI is the first deposit taking institution (MDI) to be issued a license by the CBL since the issuance and publication of the Regulation in August, 2012. The entry of Diaconia into the financial sector is a further boost to the financial sector.
