Savings & Internal Lending

Savings & Internal Lending

Approach Overview

Allowing rural women and vulnerable youth to aggregate weekly savings, build liquidity, and access low-interest credit.

Our Savings & Internal Lending Communities (SILC) allow rural women and vulnerable youth to aggregate weekly savings, build liquidity, and access low-interest credit. This provides a crucial financial safety net and capital for small businesses, enabling members to invest in their futures without relying on predatory lending.

Why this matters

  • Transforms deeply entrenched systemic issues at the grassroots level.
  • Empowers communities to be self-reliant and resilient.
  • Promotes gender equality and shared decision-making.
