Reports
2025 was another record breaking year for Five Talents. Last year, 59,253 women and men were part of a Five Talents literacy or saving group, with our partners across rural Africa supporting dozens of programmes in both existing and new countries. This is the largest number of members we have ever supported, and the most new programmes we have launched in a year too. Thank you for making this possible.
