ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Friendly society

A Friendly Society is an organization that people join to help them save money, so they can use it when they need it. It works by people putting a little bit of their money into the society each month. Then this money is kept in a big pot, and the friendly society uses it to give out money when someone is in need. It's like a big, safe savings account!
