Finance Microloans to Empower Women in Uganda
Organization information
Volunteer Action Network
Location: Gulu, Uganda
Summary
This program will fund a self-sustaining microloan program that provides microloans and business skills training to women recovering from a brutal, 20-year insurgency in northern Uganda. Our clients receive small loans, typically between $50 and $150, which they invest in livestock, agricultural projects, and other small business ventures. Nearly 95% of loans are fully repaid at the end of each 3-month loan cycle. Our mission is to empower women to walk their way out of poverty with dignity.
