20 women from Ndalu, East Africa Yearly Meeting - North, initiated this three-year project. 2008 is the third year of the project. Each member will receive $165 for establishment of her business selling such items as maize, sorghum, millet, beans, onions, milk and eggs. Members are given a grace period of two months before repayment at an interest of 2% per month. Ten monthly payments of $21.50 will repay the loan in ten months.
In addition to the seed money to start their individual businesses, the group will use $665 for a joint, small-scale farming project. It is anticipated that each woman’s income will increase $60-65 per month as a result of her participation in the project.
