Every parent wants to provide the best for their children's future. They work hard, saving a portion of their income to support their children's and family's needs. This is what 10 parents, members of a savings and loan group in a village supported by WVI in South Central Timor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, are doing. "As parents, we use the annual dividends from our savings and loan group to meet our children's school needs," said Sarny, one of the mothers who is a member of the group.
The desire to help each other, to be independent, and to progress together became the strength of the savings and loan group from the very beginning. Sarny and the other group members adopted a savings and loan system introduced by Wahana Visi Indonesia, called S4T (Savings for Transformation). The main goal of S4T is not just about saving, but also about managing household finances, with children's needs as a priority.
