Sarah
received a loan to start a bakery. Her son and daughter make a
delivery.
SWAN is providing
micro-credits for poor women to begin small business to provide for
their families. Courses in business management are given prior
to receiving the small loan, and subsequent training is
given thereafter. It is proving to be liberating for
these women. Hunger and the oppression of poverty is
being overcome through opportunity and hard work.
Micro credit recipients
attend 12 hours of classes before receiving the loan.
