Online Savings Pools Planning Meeting for all interested: Thu 16 Sep 3-4:40pm

Helen Dew shared about the Savings Pools (mutual savings cooperative) during our retreat and it sparked a lot of interest. This way of savings is common in most traditional societies and common among women’s groups so it works in many contexts around the world.

We will not be discussing the basics of what is a savings pool but rather the logistics of how we can set one up for a national group (non-place-based) or how to set one up locally with others (place-based).Please have read up on savings pools before coming so you can be familiar with the terminology and functionality and we can jump into planning and organising.
