Can volunteering and mentorship replace cash in loan repayments?
In short: In this TED talk, activist Angie Murimirwa explores 'social interest,' an economic tool that allows individuals to repay debt through community service rather than currency.
Murimirwa examines how this alternative lending model is revitalizing sub-Saharan communities that have historically been caught in cycles of poverty. By substituting monetary payments with mentorship and volunteering, the approach is generating new opportunities for thousands of African women and girls, offering a scalable model for lasting economic change.
