The Financial Empowerment Network hosts 1 to 2 workshop training events per month. These events are geared toward professionals working on issues of financial wellness and capability - from both the nonprofit and financial institution sectors. Since 2020, these events have been fully virtual. They are recorded, and require some light editing before being released for the public to view. Our videos are available at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS994fhxYr0b6mrYMREVMMQ

We are looking for a volunteer to do that light editing of the event videos. The schedule is flexible and the work will be completed remotely from home. Our preference would be to receive the videos back within approximately 2 weeks of the event, but exact timing can be arranged. We anticipate the project could take anywhere from 1-6 hours per month, depending on the number and length of events held that month.

Loans are rarely given to the poorer people in the community we serve, as they have no collateral, meaning they struggle to find ways to escape the poverty trap. Micro-finance is a proven way of not creating millionaires but increasing living standards for those who need the most help.

Most of the women we serve do not even own bank accounts, as when all the family expenses have been met, albeit with difficulty, there is nothing left to save. Banks, Microfinance Institutions even informal Shylocks need one to present a healthy financial history in the bank statements, a document over 90% of the group members lack. This unfortunate factor contributes to the depths of poverty among the women in the communities we serve, who need help to come out.
