Making money go further

We visit savings and credit groups which are helping women to start businesses in Guatemala and see how a cooking at home scheme is helping people to save cash.

Billions of people struggle to make ends meet a lot of the time. We look at ways in which people who don鈥檛 have much money or are in financial distress can make what they do have go further. We visit savings and credit groups which are helping women to start businesses in Guatemala and see how a cooking at home scheme is helping to save cash - and improve diets - among some of the most vulnerable people in the UK.
