By improving access to affordable finance, farmers can invest in their livelihoods without relying on high-interest informal loans. Once the loans are repaid after harvest, the funds become available to support other community members, creating a sustainable system that strengthens both livelihoods and long-term resilience.

They help farmers invest in seeds, livestock, tools and other essential inputs, while strengthening local organisations and improving financial resilience. As communities continue to recover from conflict and disasters, this approach provides a practical and sustainable way to support agricultural production and long-term recovery.
