MADISON, Wis.—Hear the stories of four people from different parts of the world who are prospering thanks to the work of Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions during its February 27 Cooperative Voices Event at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.
Leadership Gap.
Attendees saw how donations to Worldwide Foundation’s Priority Fund paved the way for credit unions in Ukraine to increase their agribusiness lending to farmers, and for hundreds of Venezuelan migrants and vulnerable local populations in Peru and Ecuador to access formal financial services, employment and entrepreneurial training. In 2021, the Priority Fund will be used to
bridge the digital gap by striving to digitize credit unions worldwide to deliver mobile and online services safely to millions seeking remote access to basic financial services. The COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the urgency for credit unions to provide these digital services.
