German Sparkassenstiftung's project work pursues the objective of showing the local population and refugees in the host countries economic prospects through improved access to financial services, supporting refugee integration and strengthening the local economy. An important component is to improve professional qualifications in the financial sector and to strengthen the basic financial education of the local population and refugees. Both packages of measures strengthen the local economy, create jobs and, last but not least, help to secure the livelihoods of the people.
