Yul Mahendri is a farmer from Payakumbuh, West Sumatera. She is a poor farmer who could only save 2,000 to 5,000 rupiah per day for her children’s education. And so she never dared to open an account in a bank to save her money. She’s worried she would be ridiculed for having so little. But Yul is not alone. There are others who share her dread of banks. They would rather save their money underneath their pillow or take out loans from the sharks. Fortunately, there are now friendlier alternatives for the poor.To subscribe please click here
