""Today marks a significant milestone for the hardworking people of Yumbe. We will forever remember Türkiye's support, and we are committed to making Yumbe a model region for fish farming by intensifying our efforts to honor this generous assistance."

"We recognize that limited access to finance is one of the biggest challenges women face, particularly in marginalized communities worldwide. Financial stability is crucial to building resilience. Empowering women financially creates a ripple effect that benefits not only their families but also their communities and entire nations. Without access to financial resources, women struggle to save, grow their businesses, and lift their families out of poverty."

"This grant will help uplift the economic well-being of many women by removing the barriers to finance that most women face. Community-based savings groups offer access to essential financial services that are often scarce in rural areas. These groups provide a safe place to save, opportunities to borrow small amounts with flexible terms, and a strong network of support and solidarity. We are deeply grateful to The Coca-Cola Foundation for their invaluable support."
