Women's Groups

Jovius meeting with the women at St Mary's, near the office in Kasese.
There are now 38 groups, 36 groups of which are meeting regularly in fellowship and saving small amounts of money to benefit the group. William says these groups are now stable. 2 of the groups are still struggling and need prayer and encouragement but William is confident they will be successful.
Sadly 3 of the groups have not reformed, partly because many of the women returned to home villages after Covid and partly because, while AWU cancelled all debts, some of the women were in debt in other ways and therefore did not benefit from the jubilee.
William reports there is no hope in them returning.
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 of £10,000 has been reached. That is truly amazing and we thank you for your donations and prayers. Although this particular funding stream has now closed the team continue to work alongside the women's groups.
The groups are monitored regularly, by the team, to encourage and support them.
There are 3 community facilitators, Doreen, Agnes and Sarah, who each have a responsibility to monitor a number of groups. They work really hard and its thanks to them and the team that the women are meeting in fellowship, studying the bible, growing together and saving.
