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.
