Imagine a life with no access to a formal bank account, card payments or mobile banking. For many people living in extreme poverty, this is the norm, making people more vulnerable to 'loan sharks' and violence associated with this. The work that The Salvation Army does within this thematic area targets families who have little or no access to formal financial services - providing a way to earn a living and support themselves with a sense of dignity and save money for their family’s future. Violet Ruria explains how these programmes work and why they can help marginalised communities.
