Today saw the first group of 4 women receiving their micro loans. Before giving out each of the approved amount of money, I had to explain to them that, we had critically examined each person’s business and some of them will not be receiving their stated amount requested. All the
women had applied for 100 GHC which is the maximum we are able to give out now.
3 women were deemed qualified to inject 100 cedis in their business with our micro loans and could be able to fulfil their weekly repayment of 7.20 cedis without difficulties and one other received 70 cedis. She is directed to repay at 5 cedi weekly.
I called each individual to tell them of their approval amount. One after the other, their faces
were full of smiles and they hurriedly thumb printed the document that acknowledges their receipt of funding from VPWA.
They were full of praises to VPWA for making their dream come true. Some of them had never had the opportunity of receiving a loan in their life and were happy that we have come to set our self in this community to help them.
This project has reached this far through the overwhelming commitment of volunteers from around the world that has work on different bit of this project to make it reach this stage. We also appreciates the continuous engagement of some of these volunteers even as they are back in their home countries and continue to offer their support for the growth of this project to benefit more women.
