Meeting With Microcredit ladies of Shada -- July 28, 2010

There are eight hard working women in the microcredit program. The ladies travel to the DR to purchase things to resell, they use the benefit money to repay the loans and to send their children to school, pay rent, and to feed their family. The ladies have some difficulties with the money because its too small, with the amount of money that was given to the ladies they use half to pay transportation and the other half to purchase the things. Due to the fact of the money being low they can only purchase little things like salt, onions, and potatoes.  The lady's dreams are to purchase more things then what they already have, for example shoes, cloths, bed sheet ect.. Sometimes the ladies go weeks without selling their items that they purchase because the people don’t buy them. The ladies are asking to add a little bit more on their money. The ladies want to thank everyone that help them be a part of the program.
