This is actually a micro-finance project. The women you see at the back put some money in the box every second week or so and, from that money, local project are financed. Projects may be buying some equipment for making soy milk cheese, buying new seeds, etc... There is also a solidarity account where people can get some money if a child is sick, etc... Everything is handled out orally as not all people can read.
The safebox is normally not left in the open. There are 3 locks so that 3 people are needed to get at the money.
