Infographic: Access, Savings, Impact
YouthSave's infographic tells the story of some of the project's key accomplishments and findings. 130,000 youth in four countries and on three continents opened savings accounts, saving a total of 1 million dollars as of May 2015. We found three things that facilitate youth savings: support from parents, support from schools, and taking banks to the youth rather than requiring them to travel. Savings can enhance youth development outcomes such as academic performance and even health. Take a look and share!
