“Building a Culture of Saving and Mutual Support”
Village Savings Groups help community members build saving habits, financial discipline, mutual support, and responsible money management.
Building a Culture of Saving and Mutual Support
Village Savings Groups help community members build saving habits, financial discipline, mutual support, and responsible money management.
Participants can work together to build savings, access group-based financial support according to agreed rules, and explore opportunities to improve their livelihoods.
Programme Priorities
How the Groups Function
- Community-Managed:Members set their own contribution amounts, meeting intervals, and governance bylaws.
- Mutual Support:Transparent group-based savings and credit access according to agreed community rules.
- Livelihood Improvement:Enabling households to invest in agricultural tools, seeds, and small local enterprise.
LIGO Rwanda accompanies village savings groups with guidance on bookkeeping, financial discipline, and collective cooperation.
