Women's Groups
Women's groups meeting weekly again
The women's conference of 2023 inspired and re-energised most of the women.
There are now 39 groups, 34 groups of which are meeting regularly in fellowship and saving small amounts of money to benefit the group. 5 of the groups are struggling and need encouragement to meet regularly. We are praying for that encouragement.
Following the cancellation of the debt from the revolving fund at the conference (£10,000) Amaha We Uganda have been fundraising to resupply this pot. Our target is £10,000 over 2 years. By the end of 2024 the first year target has been met and the second year target has started.
106 women from 12 groups have already benefitted from loans to restart their businesses.
The team facilitators continue to meet regularly with each group to encourage and monitor progress.
Testimonies received from women taking out loans are really positive and the impact on families will be enormous. The women are beginning to see hope after Covid.

Our focus continues to be replenishing the revolving fund. Our target is to reach £10,000 by July 2025 in order that more women can benefit from loans. If you want to be part of this please donate below, ensuring you choose 'revolving loan pot' in the PayPal drop down box. Every penny goes to the women. As the women repay these loans even more women will benefit from the revolving fund.
