More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
30 years of civil wars, drought, desertification, floods across Sudan have displaced millions of people to squatter settlements with virtually unbearable conditions & unemployment often over 50% or $1 a day or less. Poorest of poor in 10 of these communities will get access to credit denied by commercial resources, plus training & technical assistance to begin their journey back. Loans for community-based, individually-owned, small businesses will help them & once repaid, benefit others.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Capacity-building of communities/innovation & sound approaches/transparency & accountability from credit establish a track record both supporting residents and attracting funders so they can move beyond providing basics to a little prosperity.
Project Message
"With increasing household income from credit come indirect benefits--better nutrition, more money for education, housing and health care. Women owned & operated activities contribute most here."
- Bashir Medoab Gumaa Sahal, NEF Sudan Credit Program Officer
