Nine years of saving. Nine years of growing. 🌱
Recently, SaveAct hosted a learning visit to one of our long-standing Savings Groups in rural KwaZulu-Natal. It was exciting to introduce an organisation focused on livelihoods and a philanthropist to our savings methodology, and demonstrate the power of how it can contribute to women's economic empowerment.
Over nearly a decade, this group has built more than just savings—they’ve grown microenterprises, strengthened their resilience through risk reduction practices, and created a culture of trust through transparency.
Members shared their pride in what they’ve achieved—and their eagerness to take their businesses even further through microenterprise training.
Real progress, built together. 💛
