✨ ✨Big strides for DreamStart Labs's DreamSave under @SomRePOfficial ✨✨
✨We’re excited to share that our partners @caresom and @WVSomalia have successfully completed community cascade training, empowering over 100 community cadres—including Village Agents and VSLA leadership committees—to champion digital savings in their communities.
✨With training now complete, we’re entering the next phase: onboarding VSLA groups into the DreamSave pilot, running through mid-June. This is a key step toward transforming savings groups with user-friendly, tech-driven tools that promote financial inclusion.
✨✨Stay tuned✨✨

Shaqodoon, in partnership with @caresom and WAHAFA, conducted a two-day simulation exercise in Habari Heshay village, situated in the southern part of the Caynaba district, with the DRR and Early Warning Committee under the WAHAFA Project. This exercise aims to enhance the committee’s ability to monitor and report on the agreed-upon indicators based on their indigenous knowledge, as well as the steps they should take upon receiving an early warning message indicating that the trigger threshold has been reached.
