Hello Seed Effecters! As you know, this week Team Seed Effect is in Kajo Keji, South Sudan hosting our first Loan Orientation Seminar for a group of 20 women. After months of research, training, and laying the foundation for our Seed Loan Program, we are less than a week away from issuing our first loans and could not be more excited to introduce you to this amazing group of women in just a few days! For now, here are some details about the women, their families, and their businesses...
Out of the 20 women in attendance, only five can read and write and two have actually received no formal education whatsoever.
There are 6 types of businesses represented in this group including:
- “Food stuff” Vendor (onions, beans, vegetables)
- Hotel/restaurant
- Fish Vendor
- Tailoring shop
- Bakery
- Import food and clothing store
Collectively, these women have over 60 children that they are supporting with their small businesses and are eager to earn a larger income to better provide for their families!
That’s all of the details I’ll share for now, but continue to check back for more updates as we near Loan Day!
Thanks again for your prayers and support. For more up-to-date posts on our progress, check us out on Facebook or follow us on Twitter!
