On December 20th, we commemorate International Human Solidarity Day, a reminder of our interconnectedness and the significance of global cooperation. While often linked with charitable giving, the concept of solidarity extends to our personal finances. Solidarity in budgeting entails acknowledging that our financial choices reach far beyond our individual spheres. It involves reflecting on the wider social and environmental implications of how we allocate our resources. This day prompts us to contemplate how our financial actions can shape the world. Practicing budgetary solidarity involves prioritizing ethical consumption, supporting impactful initiatives, and advocating for positive change. Through mindful spending, we contribute to building a fairer and more sustainable society. www.cbgaethiopia.org | t.me/cbgaet | www.fb.com/cbgaethiopia | https://lnkd.in/ee8mtW3j #InternationalHumanSolidarityDay #BudgetingForGood #GlobalImpact

For funders, philanthropists, and impact investors, this is an opportunity to be a catalyst for change by supporting community-led initiatives, promoting social cohesion, and investing in educational and job creation programmes.
