More Savings Groups.

In the past month I have had the opportunity to attend Savings Group meetings in Kiziba and Nyabiheke Camps.

Here are some photos that tell the story better than I ever could:


Money Counters verify deposits in front of the whole association.



Each group member has a number card that she must bring to each meeting. The group always sits in numerical order. This woman's number 3 indicates that she is the Association Treasurer.



Note the lace tablecloth, carefully placed for the Association meeting.



This man has purchased the maximum number of shares for a single savings meeting. You can see that there are five stamps in his book.



Ernest is one of our Refugee Assistants in Kiziba Camp. In this photo he is observing a group meeting being facilitated by one of his colleagues. Later he will share his observations and feedback with his colleague.
