Well I’ll start telling some of the stories and let Jackie and Mfana fill in the details later.

Mfana and us have been working towards setting up sustainable businesses for people we have been helping. One of the projects we are starting right now is to help 10 women in a village buy some goats. The project is costing us about $2,000 U.S. Mfana and the women have done a business plan already and set up a repayment plan so our little micro fund hopefully never dries up:)

He has also involved the Ministry of Agriculture in this project and they will be advising the women on all sorts of things like breeding, feeding and helping with sales of the meat. The ministry is also going to take some of the money to go and buy the best kind of Billy goat for meat from South Africa, they will also do the paperwork to bring it into the country for the ladies.

Next on the list are chickens for another group of women.
