From low yields to new ambitions, Amina’s story in Mole village shows the power of community-led change. With the right tools and support, her savings group helped turn uncertainty into stability and hope. When rural families shape the decisions that affect them, progress takes root and futures shift. As we move toward the VI Global Conference in Morocco (2026), her voice reminds us that effective action must start from the ground up.
In Kalemela B, Tanzania, a village savings group is showing how progress takes hold when farmers lead their own development. Through the Tumaini VSLA, members like Asia Salum turn local knowledge into practical solutions: investing in groundnuts, livestock and collective goat-rearing. When people decide together, incomes stabilise, children stay in school, and communities build systems that withstand shocks. As we look toward Morocco 2026, their experience reminds us that lasting change begins with inclusion and the voices of those closest to the challenge.
This year in Geneva, companies, governments and communities converged around one conclusion: real due diligence is no longer a technical exercise — it is a test of fairness, power and leadership.

Discover the key insights that emerged from this year’s Forum.
