MICROLENDING Microlending in Pokuase is the foundation of our success, and the relationships it fosters guide our integrated program. We continue to target poor women with our microloans, helping them to rise above unstable earnings. Currently we have a new program for clients in good standing who want higher level loans. Check out the EntrepreneursClub.
EDUCATION Research definitively shows thateducating girlsdramatically improves all social indicators in a developing country. This year we nearly doubled the number of girls in our Keep Girls In School program from 64 to 128 students on scholarship. HEALTHCARE
A truly exceptional collaboration of volunteerhealthcareprofessionals drives our health-screening program. In just two trips nurses screened 735 women, built trusting relationships with local healthcare officials, formed a local advisory council, and are working on a community-based model for sustainable healthcare delivery. WomensTrust offers health insurance to clients in good standing as well as malaria nets to children under five. Check out theMalaria net project.
