Our Integrated Youth Empowerment Projects
Micro-credit programs/ Trickle Up program/Civic Education Project for Poor Young women.
Budget: US$30,000 dollars assistance from donors to launch this integrated microcredit program in 2022.
Micro-credit programs/ Trickle Up program for poor and disadvantaged youth empowerment. Microfinance is a banking service that is provided to unemployed and low-income individuals who have no other means of gaining financial services.
Our past programs in which we helped empower 200 poor women have showed us that participation in credit-related activities of youth leads to greater empowerment of credit members. Participants included unemployed young women and men aged 18 to 30
According to our focus group discussions, beneficiaries of the microcrwdit program reported that the program made them more confident, assertive, self-reliant, and aware of their rights. No doubt, credit programs that target poor young girls, women and boys are likely to produce substantial improvements in their social and economic status.
​
According to our 2022 plan, we have identified 300 poor young women in 3 localities.They are organized into 30 business groups of 10 young women each with each group receiving US$1000 credit to be repaid after their businesses become profitable. The repaid loan will be used for the sustainability of the revolving loan fund or Microcredit program for lending future new members. This program is an important tool for poverty reduction.
We are looking for US$30, 000 dollars assistance from donors to launch this microcredit program in 2022.
