00:35 In the World Bank,

00:37 we are working with 72 countries.

00:40 With our own financing and theirs together along with development partners,

00:44 we cover 250 million people.

00:47 The Partnership for Economic Inclusion's goal

00:50 is to help eradicate extreme poverty.

00:53 The initiative provides access to extremely poor

00:57 women by providing them with productivity,

01:01 livelihood,

01:01 and economic empowerment

01:03 through

01:04 training,

01:05 saving group,

01:06 grants and follow-up support.

01:10 Between 12 to 18 months of an intervention of economic inclusion,

01:14 not only do you see

01:16 a 25% increase in income levels,

01:18 you see a 15% increase in consumption levels,

01:21 you see over 100% increase in savings revenues.

01:25 We have seen meaningful improvements in food security.

01:28 Families are able to send their children to school.

01:31 They have a future that they can aspire to,

01:33 that their children will have a better life and they can

01:36 have a world with no poverty on a livable planet.

01:40 And it's also made households more resilient to shocks.

01:44 They can take more risks and try something new.

01:47 It is really contributing to

01:50 not only the prosperity of the household you're supporting,

01:54 but the prosperity of the community

01:56 and broadly speaking,

01:57 the country.

01:58 This is not a handout.

02:00 It's actually a handout.

02:01 We are uplifting women in their communities.

02:04 And that social transformation will only come by transforming lives,

02:08 even if it is one by one.
