Transforming Lives

Members helping members should be our ideal and belief. This belief propelled us into action after the passage of Hurricanes Maria and Dorian in 2017 and 2019 respectively. Your donation was vital in assisting Credit Unions in Dominica and The Bahamas severely damaged after the Hurricanes.

This is how together, WE effect change and transform lives.

CASE STUDY: Fahie’s Agricultural Women’s Co-operative

Meet the Fahie’s Agricultural Women’s Co-operative. For years, this resilient group of women used the Home Economic Centre of a local school to create their agro- processing products, weathering the high cost of production.

However, with contributions like yours, we were able to procure and erect solar panels atop the school roof leading to increased production levels.

This is how, through cooperation, your dollar is effecting change in communities.

Making a difference in the lives of our people.
