Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| Promoting VSLAs in Community Support Groups: In April 2025, BNUS travelled to Ghana to visit with inclusive VSLA groups. We met with BN Ghana staff, local groups and government officials to identify development issues and review progress from previous years' grants from the ECOM Foundation. The visit was important to better understand local conditions, capacity and opportunities for success. To strengthen the process and documentation behind establishing Inclusive VSLAs, BNUS provided unrestricted support from reserves for BasicNeeds Basic Rights Kenya and BasicNeeds Ghana to work together to document the VSLA work for expansion in the BasicNeeds Network. | $10,000 | $4,000 |
| Increasing the capacity of the BasicNeeds Network: BasicNeeds US developed and agreed to a letter of intent in late September 2025 for CBM UK to host a $25K reserve fund starting in 2026 to be used for key development expenses of the BasicNeeds Network, as directed by the new leadership from Ghana and Kenya. We will continue supporting cooperative governance and shared practice within the BasicNeeds Network globally. All time and costs were pro bono. | $0 | $0 |
