We are delighted to be getting closer to a partnership with Okere City. We hope to learn from their experiences and support their match towards establishing a village bank, to complement the supermarket, school and health centre - all with local resources.
Because rural dwellers find themselves enmeshed in conditions and situations that make them unbankable — such as remoteness that makes financial services inaccessible, village banking offers a unique opportunity to facilitate rural development processes.

Any giving that does not result in empowering communities is not giving but rather a process of give-in, where the recipient unknowingly gives in to the dis-empowerment that will inevitably result from such giving
