🌻 When women lead, communities thrive! Savings groups, primarily composed of women, are transforming lives and communities around the world. These groups have become essential spaces for women and vulnerable communities to actively participate, exercise leadership, and make key decisions. Studies show that savings groups significantly enhance food security, resilience to shocks, access to emergency loans, and the success of micro-businesses. 💪 #FinancialInclusion #CommunityResilience #WomenEmpowerment #SavingsGroups

🌍 On World Humanitarian Day 2024, we stand in solidarity with the global humanitarian community to call for the protection of civilians and aid workers. 💪🕊️ Despite international laws and widespread condemnation, attacks on humanitarian and aid workers often go unpunished, and impunity prevails, especially in conflict zones. Serving as World Vision’s financial empowerment arm, we proudly support this global movement, advocating for accountability and an end to the normalization of violence against humanitarian workers. Comment #NotATarget to show your solidarity with humanitarian aid workers. #WorldHumanitarianDay #NotATarget #ActForHumanity #StandInSolidarity #EndImpunity

On #InternationalYouthDay, we're inspired by Jericho’s story of resilience. At just 15, severe vision and skin problems kept him from school and play in Malawi. But thanks to the medical insurance provided by VisionFund Malawi, Jericho received the care he needed, transforming his life. Watch Jericho’s journey and see how innovative and inclusive finance empowers the next generation. #YouthEmpowerment #GlobalHealth #ChildrensHealth #Malawi #InclusiveFinance #VisionFund #EndPoverty #SDGs #YouthStories #MakeADifference

What do goat cashmere and construction have in common? They’re the unlikely combination that helped one Mongolian mother of six lift her family from poverty. In Tuv province, Narantuya faced a mother’s nightmare. With six hungry mouths to feed and only her ailing mother’s government benefits to rely on, she made a choice no parent should have to make: she sent her children to work for herder families in the countryside. Soon, Narantuya picked up a trowel and began working in construction, a job especially tough for women. The days were long and the winters brutal. Brick by brick, her hands grew calloused, but her skills sharpened. She eventually dreamed of running her own construction service. However, no formal financial institution would give her a loan because she didn’t meet their criteria. VisionFund invested in her dream and offered her a loan, which she used to buy a putty machine, an emulsions mixer, and cementing machines for her business. In Empowered Worldview training, a key component in VisionFund’s services, Narantuya learned the importance of her identity and values. “I used to feel ashamed of my appearance, often avoiding eye contact due to my shabby clothing. However, the training helped me overcome these feelings. I now take pride in my work and no longer feel ashamed, even when I’m in my construction clothes. People now respect and encourage me as a hard-working individual,” Narantuya reflected. With her newfound confidence, she listed all her resources and diversified her income. In winter, when construction slows, she works with soft goat cashmere. Recently, she earned 4 million MNT in just a month—enough to repay loans and cover her son’s medical bills after an accident. Today? Narantuya gathers with four others in her community, sharing her story, offering hope, and reinforcing the lessons she learned from the Empowered Worldview training. The mother who once struggled alone now guides others to success.✨ #EmpoweredWorldview #FinancialInclusion #WomenEconomicEmpowerment
