Our second Family Support Project is underway in Chole. It is a partnership with the Chole Women’s Group and a Tanzanian NGO, called CODEHAF. The planning has taken a while, with CODEHAF supporting the women in a communal garden, growing cash crops. Busega Scotland is financing a vicoba (credit union), that will provide loans forthe women to develop their family businesses. There are 35 families in the Chole project, and an initial capital sum of £130 has been donated. This will rise to £370 if the project progresses well. The funding is from the ‘Walk Moray for Busega’ sponsored walk, that occurred in September.
Chole is quite remote and getting there is not easy. Digging the vehicle out of the sand is part of the experience!
The women meet in a small project building, that they have constructed, and group chairwoman, Marianna James, received the Busega Scotland contribution from Julieth Godwin, our Assistant Project Leader, who has responsibility for the Chole project. We wish the women well in their endeavours.
