EASE's Financial & Business Empowerment program recently conducted financial literacy training for 50 farmers, helping them understand banking, savings, credit, and financial planning. The training has enabled many participants to access formal financial services for the first time.
Participants learned how to manage their finances, save for the future, and access credit for agricultural investments. Several farmers have since opened bank accounts and applied for agricultural loans.
"The training helped me understand how to manage my money better," said one farmer. "I now have a savings account and can plan for my farm's future."
The program will continue to provide financial literacy training and support farmers in accessing financial services.
