planetGOLD Colombia 🇨🇴 has developed a Savings & Credit group program, training miners to manage their own community loans at a low interest rate, rather than rely on loan sharks.
The project has formed 81 groups with the successful participation of over 1,300 people so far—78% of whom are women miners.
Hear from some of these women about how the program has helped them achieve a new level of financial autonomy.
The planetGOLD Colombia project is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Ministry of Mines and Energy, in partnership with the Ministries of Environment and Health. To learn more about the project, visit: https://planetgold.org/colombia
