SHI- Fund 70 Women's Micro-Credit Loans in Ghana
Ghana  Microfinance
Self-Help International has been battling hunger in Ghana since 1989. Our approach is paying dividends but pending micro-credit loans ($75 to $250) may go unfunded if money is not made available. Once micro loans are dispersed, women are able to buy machinery to start their own palm press business, expand their current business, or invest into others' businesses. Here at Self Help, we boast a 97% repayment rate on all funds loaned. project reportread updates from the field

Self Help- Ghana Training Center for Young Farmers
Ghana  Education
Young Ghanaian farmers want to stay on the farm, but lack skills to raise small animals and other products to increase income. Help us build and furnish a training center to provide 6 months training for each farmer in the proper care of poultry, rabbits, goats, mushrooms, snails, beekeeping to increase income for their family. The center will provide hands-on classes by trained staff. In 5 years 2,500 farmers will learn how to successfully raise animals and products to generate more income. project reportread updates from the field

SHI: Improving Water Quality in Rural Nicaragua
Nicaragua  Environment
Indigent, hardworking farmers in southern Nicaragua want a better future for their children. Self-Help International is working with hundreds of farmers to improve cultivation practices to increase yields by planting non-genetic Quality Protein Maize (QPM), containing double the digestible protein as regular corn. However, poor water quality is compromising these efforts. An affordable solution to improve water impacts health and well-being of thousands of Nicaraguans, especially children. project reportread updates from the field

Self-Help: Women's Micro-credit Loans in Nicaragua
Nicaragua  Microfinance
Self-Help has been working to alleviate hunger in Nicaragua since 1999. Providing opportunities for women to learn business operations, and loans ($50-200) to initiate these enterprises is proving to be successful in this mission. Training and loans for new groups of women, and value-added enterprises further strengthen women's income and voices in society. In order to continue these efforts, funding is needed to support these objectives. Self-Help is proud of its 97 percent return on loans. project reportread updates from the field
