The 21 group members, from Vokoli Yearly Meeting, are participating in this one-year project. The members currently engage in a merry-go-round in which each member contributes $3.00 per month and loans are returned at 5% per month interest. The group has chosen three income-generating projects; poultry, cereal sales and tree nurseries. Seven members will engage in each project.
