Give the gift of savings and loans to women experiencing poverty who often don’t have access to traditional banks or financing options. This gift provides financial programs for women’s groups to save money together, invest in their children and share in both the profits and the life benefits. It also provides money-management skills trainings, improving household income while boosting security and independence. Communal savings can help women pay for things like medical costs and school fees, for themselves or their children, helping lift entire families out of poverty. The funds can even provide seed capital to start budding new businesses. And, since it’s up to the women to decide how best to use their hard-earned savings, they’re free to reinvest their cashouts in uplifting one another.
