Financial inclusion
As per the Global Findex Database 2021, India is among seven countries home to half the world’s 1.4
billion adults without access to formal banking.
At DEAL Foundation we believe that financial inclusion is a prerequisite for poverty alleviation,
inclusive and sustainable development.
We work with persons with disability and women members considering take-up of or already
engaged in income generation activities to offer:
Financial literacy and skills development training.
Bank and market linkage support.
Monitoring and course correction advice and support.
Some of our key achievements over the financial year 2022 include:
- 48 persons with disability and 72 women members offered bank linkage support.
- 217 persons with disability and 844 women members supported through financial literacy and skill
development training.
