KENYA - $4,625
Sorghum, Millet and Soy Bean Selling
Project Coordinator: Beatrice Lusangi

Thirty women, members of Vihiga Yearly Meeting, are participating in this one-year project. They are already contributing $3 each per month to their merry-go-round. They repay that loan at 4% interest. They will repay the RSWR loan at 2% per month with a grace period of two months, and it will be repaid in one year. They have identified three projects with ten members in each project. Anticipated economics are:

 

Project	Loan	Income per group per month
Sorghum	$1,000	$1,000
Millet	$1,000	$1,000
Soy beans	$1,150	$1,500

They also will use $1,250 as a revolving fund for small loans to individual members.

From the Africa Quaker Vision report, “The project blends with visionary leadership. It is well defined and reflects what is on the ground. Thirty young and middle aged women are focused and know what they want to do. They are clear about objectives and activities to be undertaken and have the ability to carry out with a sustainable plan. These three income-generating activities are already being carried out on a small scale.
