WORK HISTORY
Co-CEO @Five Talents Uk
London, GB
Five Talents is a charity that empowers communities and delivers sustainable development through programmes that: Are community owned and led - delivered through churches by expert trainers from the communities they are serving. They teach members how to read, write and count, and teach money-management and business skills. Empower women and build resilience - our programme parters work in rural communities where female literacy rates are as low as 1%. Having learnt to read and write, members save together (building a loan fund), and lend to one another. Deliver effective and sustainable development - we have the data to prove it! After 3-5 years of investment, these Savings Groups are self-sufficient. Our delivery partners move on. Groups continue to operate, grow and unlock transformation. “After joining the program, I saved monthly and then took out a loan and bought a goat which gave me two kids - five times! I sold them and bought a cow. Now I am able to feed my family without problem, buy school materials, pay school fees and buy clothes for all of us. My Savings Group has helped me to be together with others… Now I have confidence and I am even a leader in my local church.” Caritas, a Savings Group member in Burundi

ABOUT KRIS COPPOCK
Five Talents partners with supporters, including philanthropists and wealth advisors, business owners and companies, family foundations and charitable trusts. Together, we help women in rural communities in east and central Africa to become literate and to start profitable businesses. Through these businesses, women are able to feed and educate their children, access healthcare, build homes and invest in land. Their confidence grows, and many women become leaders in their community and church. Our supporters like that we\'re a small development charity making a significant, practical and measurable difference by partnering with the Anglican church - because there\'s a church in almost every rural community. They also like that we\'re highly relational; working together, we empower communities through cost-effective programmes that are self- sustaining within 3-5 years, and we have the data to show how effective they are.
