About SDI

32 Countries. 478 Cities. Thousands of slums. Millions of people.

Women

"When you put women at the centre, things begin to move. Women, we put the community first."

Savings

"We save a little every day, but it adds up to a lot: a lot of money, a lot of women, a lot of power."

Data

"We don't need people to collect information for us. We can do it ourselves. You might leave it in the computer. We will use it."
