Digital Financial Inclusion for Waste-Pickers
Bank accounts, digital payments and credit for cash-only informal workers.
Most waste-pickers operate entirely in cash, locking them out of savings, credit and government transfers. We facilitate bank accounts, digital payments and access to credit and insurance — the foundation of financial security.
- Cash-only work blocks savings, credit and DBT transfers
- Digital accounts enable formal contracts and payments
- Financial inclusion underpins every other gain
From cash-only work to financial security
Operating entirely in cash locks waste-pickers out of savings, credit and government transfers. Accounts, digital payments and literacy build the base for every other gain.
A clear, practical approach
Current financial access and barriers.
Accounts, digital payments and DBT linkage.
Financial literacy and links to credit/insurance.
