How small savings can transform the lives of West African farmers
In short: For many smallholder farmers in West Africa, living on less than two dollars a day makes saving nearly impossible. This video explores how myAgro provides a transparent, stress-free way for these entrepreneurs to build financial security.
Anushka Ratnayake presents myAgro, a charity aiming to provide secure savings options for West Africa's 60 million smallholder farmers, most of whom are women. By allowing farmers to set aside small amounts and access funds as needed, the organization aims to empower agricultural entrepreneurs with the purchasing power required to run successful farms. Over the next five years, myAgro intends to expand its reach to one million farmers in the region.
