  • A safe space to save money is life-changing -- especially for the 60 million smallholder farmers in West Africa (the majority being women) who often live on less than two dollars a day. Poverty fighter Anushka Ratnayake introduces her non-profit myAgro, which offers farmers a place to save small amounts of money and allows them to access those funds as they need them. Over the next five years, myAgro plans to reach a million farmers in West Africa, providing a stress-free, transparent and convenient system that empowers agricultural entrepreneurs by putting the purchasing power it takes to run a successful farm in their hands.
    This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change. Watch all the talks from this year's cohort at ted.com/audaci...

    One of my favorite talks so far! I love The way she conveys her messages, and how she speaks slowly but shaped. What an immersive speech!

    Hey Anushka🇱🇰 .. Amazing speech.. Glad to hear a Srilankan name in TED space.
    In 🇱🇰 my country farmers are suffering. Government and the officials ruined our agriculture.
    You are a great asset to our country.
    I wish you can educate our people and extend your agrocredit program in our country too.

    Sra Anushka,
    You've done amazing work in helping these people advance their lives and those of their posterity. Thank you!
    One question I thought of, however, is: how will a farmer, who can only save cents, be able to afford a smartphone? In the examples, it sounds like they were given a phone, meaning these activities are heavily subsidized. So, will the amount that farmers can save as an outcome of this exceed the investment that goes into the program? If not, perhaps we should also be considering alternative approaches to raising their quality of life. But if so, well done!!
    Anyway, in any case its problem better not to listen to an armchair nobody like myself. Thanks for getting up and actually doing something to help these people, its so valuable.

    The general Currency market have paved way for many but the questions investors/traders ask themselves now is, if this is right time to invest? before jumping into conclusion i think one should evaluate things first. for weeks the price of cryptocurrencies have been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable. while others are being patient and waiting for price to skyrocket, i continue to trade without the fear of making lose. it all depends on the pattern with which you trade and also the source of your signals. My crypto portfolio is currently up at 7.4 BTC, 45% higher than my old balance. I was able to do this using copy trading system from a US regulated trader, Greg Yichen. Trading on margin offers you the opportunity to make large profits from a relatively small investment irrespective of the market volitivity...Greg got it all
