Murabe Community Gardeners Open Their Savings Box

The Murabe community gardeners - mostly women opened their savings box and found Le46 Million in there. This is money that had saved for their one year savings from the sale of vegetables they harvested from their gardens. The resources for the community garden were provided to the gardeners by us at the SGF Sierra Leone. Through the Savings Box, participants have learned to save money for the raining day and for other emergencies. They also had the opportunity to loan from the Savings Box without interest. The program has strengthened women in the community by eliminating strict financial hardship and reinstating their dignity.
