One of our aims is to help the villagers to be more self sufficient. Our Adult Education Scheme has been helping towards this, but we have also introduced some other important programmes and projects.
Self Sustainment
Women’s Self Help Micro Finance Groups
We now have four Women’s Self Help groups, which meet on a regular basis in the Kamuli area. The women, and a few male members, all put in a small amount of cash (under £1) at each meeting – which is given to the member in most need at the time.
We also make a loan to individual members, who use the money to set up small business enterprises and then pay the money back to the group after an agreed time… and then the money is ploughed back into the group for other members to take up, so our scheme is self perpetuating.
