WCDP and Social Networking

It has been a while since I have posted on the WCDP blog. This is a way of provding an update and informing about the projects we have been working on.


We have, for the past 4 years, been providing micro credit loans to women in Uganda. Currently we have provided nearly $10,000 in loans to almost 100 women over the course of 7 loan cycles. We have had over 99% of the loans repaid without default.


In February 2011 we initiated a pilot project providing micro loans to youths (age 17-27) in the same communities where our women's loan program operates. We started small with less than $400 in loans for 8 different individual or group projects. Each youth is provided with guidance counseling, mentoring and must find a loan guarantor.


We have also joined the social networking world with a twitter account: @tweetWCDP; we are on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/wcdpfb; and flickr: http://www.flickr.com/wcdpus. You can also search for us on Linked In.
