With just two days to go until #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the power of financial inclusion in transforming women’s lives! In Western Equatoria State, South Sudan, Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) are breaking barriers—giving women access to finance, economic independence, and a voice in agribusiness. Rhoda Daniel Saratier and Marietta Augusto turned small loans into profitable maize-based businesses, proving that when women thrive, communities flourish. VSLAs are more than financial tools—they are pathways to gender equality and social empowerment. Let’s keep #InspiringInclusion by ensuring women everywhere have access to the opportunities they deserve!

Each of the 45 communes in the project will apply 100+ tons of dolomite in the upcoming 2025B season, restoring soil fertility and boosting food production!
