Financial services: our digital financial services work focused on developing networks of trained female community agents to provide their neighbors digital access to financial resources to improve their lives. Agents also earn a small transaction fee to improve their own lives. In fy21, 2,390 new agents were added to the grameen foundation USA (grameen) community agent network. Each financial services agent reaches an average of 266 neighbors in her community. Agents are a key component of grameen programs in multiple countries. In india, for instance, 904 community agents are serving 1,123 low-income villages in 5 districts, including 600,000 people in the nagpur district and 40,000 people in the nashik district. In ghana, 9,000 female entrepreneurs are working with grameen agents to access digital financial services, receive business and financial literacy training, and gain understanding of resources related to gender-based violence.
