In rural communities in B**g and Nimba Counties, families are learning how to save, loan, and plan for the future together.
Through the Rural Savings for the Future (RSF) project, CRS has supported the creation of 78 Savings and Internal Lending Communities (SILC), reaching 2,128 people, most of them women.
Because many rural families lack access to banks, groups provide a practical alternative. Members save money together, take small loans to invest in farming or businesses, prepare for emergencies, and increase women’s participation in household financial decisions.
These groups are owned and managed by the communities themselves, allowing them to continue long after the project ends. Today, members are using loans to expand small businesses, buy farm inputs, and strengthen their households.
CRS remains committed to practical, proven solutions that expand economic opportunities for communities across Liberia.
