The Saving and Lending for Transformation (SALT) project brings women together in structured savings groups with clear rules and shared accountability.
Members access small loans for farming inputs, school fees, or micro-enterprises. Financial literacy sessions help groups manage risk and plan for the future.
Beyond income, participants report greater confidence speaking in public forums—a step toward more inclusive local governance.
