Share & SaveMore Information About this ProjectProject Needs and Beneficiaries75% of Guatemala’s rural population lives in poverty; most are indigenous people. Lack of resources & education add to high unemployment and recent surges in male emigration to the US leave rural women providing for the family alone. APROSADSE provides women with loans to purchase livestock, trains the women on their care, and guides them through the process of building a successful small business. The animals provide nourishment and income to the families, and empower the women. Activities- Provide loans - Guide beneficiaries through business paperwork and loan re-payment processes - Provide trainings on animal/ project maintenance - Provide support through regularly scheduled meetings and visits - Evaluate program effectiveness Funding InformationTotal Funding Received to Date: $1,905 Additional DocumentationThis project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc). ResourcesWhy this Project is ImportantPotential Long Term ImpactWomen can provide regular nourishment for their families, enabling more children to attend and graduate from school. More resources will flow into rural communities, and fewer people will be forced to migrate to cities or the US. Project Message
My great hope in life has been to be able to pay for my children’s education- for their future- and APROSADSE’s cow-raising project has helped me to do that, and has provided milk for our consumption. Who is Running This ProjectContact
