People in Jenny’s community rely on her for life’s essentials. Her sari-sari shop—the neighborhood convenience store—is more than the place to buy canned goods and cooking oil; it’s where everyone meets to catch up with each other and the latest news. And now, because Jenny is a trained financial services agent and access point, she saves women from having to make expensive, long and often treacherous trips to the city to pay bills, borrow money or get government services. Now they have more time and money to spend on their family’s needs and more control over their finances.
Becoming a Grameen Community Agent isn’t just helping Jenny help her community, it is helping her become a better entrepreneur. Jenny’s Story

As a local agent with our partner Farmgrow, Selasse works with about 200 different farm families to develop a farm development plan. Each farm family is unique, and each has its own plan to grow their farming income. Although its recommendations and profit and loss projections are powered by data and digital remote-sensing technology, the farm development plan information itself comes to the farmer low or no-tech. All Martha and her husband need is a basic-feature phone and Selasse. Selasse’s Story
