During the COVID-19 pandemic, the fintech industry continued to help expand access to financial services not just for businesses but also for commoners.
Affordable and easy access to financial services is critical for poverty reduction and economic growth for all countries, and the fintech industry did just that.

Financing for Development - Financing MSMEs for Economic Growth and DevelopmentR. M
A digital artifact aimed at proposing a financing solution to the credit issue faced by MSMEs in Nigeria. The target of this presentation is a cross section of public sector agents who can engage the development community to seek solutions to the aforementioned issue. The presentation proposes two major solutions; technical assistance to make Nigeria's business environment conducive to businesses, and a financing solution that allows for flow of much needed credit to the MSME sector through the creation of a national development bank. The importance of funding MSMEs cannot be overstated; they are drivers of not only economic growth but serve service other development agendas such as poverty eradication, reduction in wealth imbalances, employment generation etc. Consequently, it is imperative to provide support to MSMEs, especially in developing countries where they lack access to finance, if we are to achieve a key portion of the SDGs.
A decade before we literally relate finance to the banking sector. The import and quality of finance has transformed and has been evolved dramatically by the period. This is primarily due to technology integration and evolution of myriad hues of financial structures and domains globally. Modrika helps you to take at the ground layer of these domains and sub domains. Thus, it helps you to get deeper perception of the financial complexity, giving you financial wisdom and enlightenment to attractive and accomplish meteoric career.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
