Thirty women, members of East Africa Yearly Meeting - Kaimosi, are participating in this one-year project. They will divide into three groups of ten each for poultry, firewood, and maize sales. The seed money will be repaid at 2% monthly interest. The project also includes a revolving fund, 50% of which will be used for administration and transportation and 50% used for small loans. These loans will also be repaid at 2% per month. Anticipated economics are:

ACTIVITY	LOAN	MONTHLY INCOME
POULTRY	$680	$385 for eggs, $915 for "old" hens (12 to 18 months old)
WOOD	$1,125	$1,375
MAIZE	$1,300	$1,885

From the Africa Quaker Vision report, “This is a well balanced group reflecting a Quaker-based project within the community. The group comprises young and middle-aged women of integrity. The presence of the presiding clerk, church elder and pastor affirmed to us the relationship and commitment of the project members. It not only targets the needy but also meets RSWR outlined requirements. It is a very impressive group with exemplary unity in decision making and experience in self-help activities.
