To increase our growth in this strategic market, we have partnered with DreamStart Labs, an award-winning fintech whose DreamSave app makes it easy for savings groups to digitize their operations. In addition, VFI and WV are exploring partnering opportunities with FCO (Farm Concern International) and MasterCard digital platforms for accessing finance for smallholder farmers.
