Developing Community and Reducing Poverty
Through Christ-Centered Savings Groups
Developing Community
Group members come together in community as they are taught and mentored by Open Hands in how to save and loan their own funds and operate micro-businesses.
Reducing Poverty
Most financially vulnerable people think they cannot save, but after joining a savings group, they discover that the little they have can grow into a useful lump sum.
Global Impact
Open Hands has savings group programs in 14 countries, with 253 national staff. We have more than 1,300 savings groups with approximately 29,000 members.
Get Involved
Open Hands hires and trains national staff in each country to teach and mentor the savings groups. Your gifts support us in the continuation of this work, as well as expansion into new areas.
