At Alajo, we believe in the power of small changes to create significant impacts. One inspiring story that embodies this belief is that of Mrs. Risikat, a dedicated mother striving to provide her son with a better future.

For many low-income families, education is a vital investment, yet financial barriers often make it challenging. Mrs. Risikat faced this struggle firsthand. Each month, she found it difficult to pay her son's school fees, which amounted to $22 every four months. Often, she resorted to loans and credit lines just to make ends meet.

However, with Alajo’s personal finance solutions, Mrs. Risikat discovered a transformative way to manage her finances. By saving just $0.60 from her daily earnings, she could accumulate $75 over four months. This small change not only allowed her to cover her son's school fees but also enabled her to buy essential books and consider enrolling him in a better school.
