We did it!




Last week we held our first Training of Trainers workshop for the new Voluntary Savings and Lending Group program.

We were joined by Terry Isert, ARC Microenterprise Development Senior Technical Advisor from Minneapolis, our three IGP Coordinators, and fifteen refugees who have been recruited as community animators and trainers for this program.

The training lasted five days and was a big success.

Implementation will take a little bit longer--about three months of intensive work and a year or so of follow up--and we are eager to get started.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who made this training possible.
