Grassroots Capital Accumulation

Empowering Families Through Internal Savings Circles

Internal Savings Groups (ISGs) form the economic backbone of every local Kolping Family. Members pool small weekly or monthly savings into a self-governed group fund. The accumulated capital is then used to grant short-term interest-bearing loans to members for school fees, emergency medical expenses, and small business expansion.

Key Savings Group Features

Transparent three-key cashbox ledger system
Democratic election of Chairperson, Treasurer & Secretaries
Emergency social welfare fund for members in distress
Annual share-out of accumulated savings and interest dividends
