The name of the group definitely describes its purpose. The Kalwande Solidarity Group, and it’s our first group of the year.

32 women have come together to support each other, and Busega Scotland is standing with them. Julieth Godwin and Henry Zepherine have assessed each woman for group attendance, and the meeting on 13th February was its start.

If all goes well, Busega Scotland will make its first contribution to the group’s capital in three months’ time. That will allow the women to take loans and build up their small businesses. In the meantime, members will use their vicoba (similar to a credit union) for personal savings.
