It's quite common for market women to face significant challenges with traditional savings groups, where they often lose money. This happens due to reasons like poor management, leaders absconding with funds, or lack of proper records. While precise statistics on how many market women lose money every year in these savings groups vary by region, anecdotal evidence from many reports indicates that these losses are frequent and detrimental to their financial stability. For example, globally, many women rely on informal savings and credit groups, which can be unreliable. A lack of formal financial inclusion often forces women to use these risky savings methods. In some cases, like in Uganda, savings groups have shown both potential and risks, as highlighted by reports on initiatives aimed at economically empowering women through such group systems. However, the absence of formal safeguards means many women are vulnerable to losses. With solutions like SUBA Capital , users can take control of their savings, avoiding the risks associated with unregulated savings groups. By offering digital, transparent, and secure savings and investment options, SUBA Capital helps market women ensure their funds are safe, preventing losses from poor group leadership or memory lapses, as some of the women who we spoke to expressed. #startsmallgrowBig #SUBACapital
