Look at Starbucks Coffee Team EMEA getting stuck in to support our work! 🙌 From building bricks to planting kitchen gardens, their energy, teamwork, and smiles were a 10/10 across the board. 🌱 Oh, and there may have been just a bit of dancing too. 💃 Thank you for making a real impact and bringing joy while doing it.

Imagine you didn’t have your banking app. Or the local branch in town. 💭 No safe place to save. No one to borrow from when times are tough. This is the everyday reality for millions of rural families in Africa - families working hard to grow food and build a future, but left out of the formal financial system. Finance should work for everyone. That’s why we support community-led savings and loans groups that make saving simple, borrowing fair, and opportunity possible. With your help, the impact so far looks like this: 2,950 savings groups, 106,551 members, and over £2.7 million in collective capital - and growing. Affordable finance is a key element in 7 out of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Let’s make sure no one is left out. 💚 https://rippleeffect.org/about/what-we-do/enterprise/financial-inclusion/ (fb)
