Rural Financial Services & Investments

(Kings Africa Economic Development) – Access to rural financial services is vital to improve small-holder agriculture and create rural off-farm incomes, especially for women and youth. Help partners expand services to rural clients and develop the innovative financial services they need. Off-farm incomes are increasingly important to reduce rural poverty, create opportunities for women and youth, stem migration to overcrowded cities, and limit pressure on land resources. In almost all cases, these populations have no access to financial services to support these initiatives. Save Future Africans Network will provide services to micro, small and medium businesses in rural value chains; we will achieve this through partnerships with providers who are eager to expand their services to rural clients and develop innovative, high quality rural, agricultural, and value chain financial services and products that combine farm and non-farm components to develop the rural economy.

Deposits also represent a diversified, local, and stable funding base for the financial institutions. Save Future Africans Network intends to be a leader in this area and help poor entrepreneurs access a full range of financial products and services.

In addition, youth repeatedly express interest in beginning their own enterprises rather than working in underpaid positions with poor opportunities for advancement.
