I want to, I can … save money
English
Economic development program for older adults through training on financial education and the generation of community banks, promoting savings, investment and responsible use of credit
Description
Community banks are trust groups created by the community, in which members have the opportunity to save and receive interest on their investment at a rate above that of the market, as well as the opportunity to access microcredits at a interest rate also better than that in the market. The bank is run by the community itself, which has received training in life skills and financial education, and supported by a community promoter: the profit generated is distributed as interest to all bank members.
