The Ministry of Finance and Planning will provide targeted groups financial education, entrepreneurship training and incentives to join Savings Groups.
"The need to collectively pool resources and save is now more important than ever,” says SASI CEO Gerald Mwandiambira. “Families should consider savings groups and stokvels ahead of 2019.”
Through HelpAge, an intergenerational programme that restores livelihoods and builds community cohesion in post-Ebola Sierra Leone, youth volunteers train Savings Groups for the elderly.
