Stop Cookstoves from Killing in South Sudan

Thanks for your continued generous gift for Clay Stove Project.
In 2015; with a loan capital from Deki, Hope Ofiriha granted loans to ten new entrepreneurs in Namboole. Thanks to training, women in Namboole acquire the skills, support and financial resources they need to establish sustainable small businesses. They invest their income in meeting their basic needs and those of their families, including their children's education. They make and sell clay stove a very favorite cooking device in East Africa. The loans are repayable after a year by installments. A group has 20 members where to secure each other's repayment in case of defaulting.

Hope Ofiriha had been supporting women who fled from African newest state to settle in Namboole in the outskirt of Kampala when social unrest broke out in South Sudan in December 2013. Hope Ofiriha will pay fees for a woman to attend skills training to make clay stove.

Hope Ofiriha sends a new field up after a quarter to let you know how your contribution is impacting the lives of these women and their children.
