Financial Inclusion of Indigenous Peoples by Patricia Flores

  • Cahokia LLC 707 North 3rd Street, Ste 130 Phoenix, AZ, 85004 United States (map)

This workshop will explore the collaborative efforts between Saphi and prominent Peruvian financial institutions such as MIbanco and the digital wallet platform Yape. We'll showcase the tangible outcomes of our partnership, highlighting how these financial entities can now effectively serve Quechua-speaking individuals by offering services in their native language.

Additionally, participants will gain valuable insights into Saphi's journey, understanding its evolution and mission to promote linguistic and cultural diversity while fostering economic empowerment. As a special interactive segment, attendees will engage in an activity to learn basic Quechua words, further enhancing cultural appreciation and understanding.

Facilitator Bio: Patricia Flores is a Peruvian social entrepreneur and graduate in Administration driven by a profound desire to address social inequalities in her country. As the Co-founder of Saphi, she spearheads a pioneering venture dedicated to revitalizing indigenous languages, fostering cultural preservation and empowering marginalized communities.
