This is a sentence that describes what the page is about.
Small-scale fishers and smallholder farmers around the world live amidst a wealth of natural resources, but are often unable to benefit from their value. These communities lack access to formal financial services like bank accounts, formal debt, or insurance, while financial service providers and development organizations cannot effectively deliver resources to these communities.
When traditional finance fails, innovative finance is needed. Rare’s Innovative Finance program connects rural and remote communities on nature’s frontlines to the formal financial sector, helping them build resilience to financial shocks fueled by climate change.

Here is a short sentence to go along with this one, too.
Connecting communities to the formal economy
The formal economy consists of traditional financial services like savings accounts, insurance, and affordable loans. Most small-scale fishing and farming communities are rural and remote, far from banks and other financial institutions that provide these services, leaving fishers, farmers, and other rural residents vulnerable to impacts from emergencies, pandemics, or climate change. In this Rare Quotes, Rare Vice President of Innovative Finance Kate Schweigart discusses Rare’s approach to connecting communities to the formal economy.
