Women's savings and financial skills

Budgeting, goal setting and collective saving with women's groups, so that small and irregular income still builds something.

The Network runs financial skills training with women's groups, covering budgeting, setting financial goals, and the mechanics of collective saving. The premise is simple: a small and irregular income can still build something, provided the discipline and the group structure are in place.

Sessions are practical. Participants work through how small contributions accumulate, how a group fund is governed, and how savings can be turned into stock for a small business, school fees, or a buffer for a bad month.

The programme sits within the Network's wider commitment to women's economic empowerment, and it is designed to leave a functioning group behind rather than a completed training register.
