A monthly household budget notebook and chat for migrant families

Families with someone working abroad receive money in a lump. But it runs out before the month ends, and they wait for the next remittance, with no room to think of savings or the future. Once a month the women of migrant families in the para sit together. Each notes in a notebook how much came, what it was spent on and how much was set aside. They learn to keep separate portions for the household, the children's study and sudden illness. Someone who manages well shares her method. You need a notebook, a place to sit and a helper who understands accounts.
