Pattern Name : Money Pooling
Context : Some people have access to money they don't need right now; others have need for money.
Problem : Lack of mechanisms to redistribute money in communities.
Solution : Create a Common Fund, or some form of savings pool or giving/lending circle.

Rationale : We have enough money in our community if we use it wisely and share it sometimes.
