Each group facilitated by Busega Scotland has an established life cycle. Assessment – commencement – payment dates – evaluation. That means each group lasts 12 months before continuing independently.

As existing groups end then new ones start in a programme managed by Busega Scotland’s co-ordinator, Julieth Godwin. Julieth is very skilled at groupwork and in juggling many tasks at any given time! The photo shows the new Mlimani group.

This year three groups have progressed successfully and are now independent. Two new ones have stared and a third will be underway by the year end. These six groups involve two hundred women in business development and mutual support.

There is a seminar planned to look at how the project is working and to identify areas for improvement. It has evolved greatly over its eight years of operation.
