Digital financial inclusion is a critical tool for empowering small-scale fishers, enabling them to build resilience, access markets, and contribute to climate sustainability.

The Accion Fintech for Inclusion Global Summit 2024 emphasized trust, education, and scalability in providing accessible financial services to underserved populations.

ABALOBI empowers PHQC workers, mainly women, by standardising wages, providing workplace insurance, and fostering equity, dignity, and safety in small-scale fisheries, driving sustainable and empowered coastal communities.

ABALOBI helps small-scale fishers save and access funds through tailored financial products and offers financial literacy training to enhance their money management skills.

In April 2024, ABALOBI was featured on the Mastercard.com's Newsroom website (and Newsletter).

A survey was administered to savings pilot participants to gauge their response to various features of the program. Please take a look at the gallery for aggregated and anonymized responses.
