Christ-Centered
We believe the foundation for a satisfying life is faith in Jesus Christ.
Financially Sound
Members learn the value of saving, investing, and entrepreneurship.
Community Focused
Group members join a community that provides the support and encouragement they need.
Locally Run
Local facilitators start the local savings groups and provide the ongoing necessary support.
Millions of people in developing countries don't have the financial resources or training to escape the cycle of poverty.
At Open Hands, we believe everyone deserves access to a Christ-centered community where they can safely invest or borrow money, learn financial literacy, stabilize their financial situation, and grow in relationships.
That's why we develop and support local Christ-centered savings groups in developing countries.
With your donations, we train local facilitators who establish local savings groups, enabling thousands of members to escape the cycle of poverty through education, support, and community.

How Do Savings Groups Work?
Savings groups that are formed and run by the local community provide a variety of benefits, including community and personal empowerment, a supportive network of people, and a sustainable model that doesn't rely on outside funds.
