Microfinance Project
Baskets made by the Nyaka Grannies
The Microfinance component is currently implemented through the "Nyaka Credit Program" launched in 2006. The objective is to provide access to credit for income- generating activities to the women taking care of the orphans attending Nyaka and Kutamba Schools. This program aims to improving caretakers' incomes as numerous studies have shown that women tend to especially prioritize ensuring the children's nutrition, education, clothing, health, and housing improvements.
With improved standards of living at home, the Nyaka and Kutamba students will be able to maintain the necessary good health and morale in order to complete their primary education at Nyaka and Kutamba Schools.
Michigan Friends of Nyaka is raising funds to support this program. For more information on Michigan Friends of Nyaka, go to: Weblog
