SEDA’s partner organizations are reporting that many women in Sungthong District, Vientiane Province are still in need of funding to get their textiles and waving businesses up and running. The Village Bank is short of the funds needed to provide grants. The Village Bank cannot secure loans from commercial banks and have therefore turned to SEDA-Laos for help. SEDA has been trying to raise fund, but we are having very limited success.. We are urging our reader, supporters, and donors to help support this program. These funds will be used to help women in remote areas become independent and self-sustaining business owners.
SEDA’s goal is to raise enough funds to provide support to over 350 women in remote areas. Every dollar donated counts toward helping these women develop stable and self-sustaining income. Given the current economic climate, we at SEDA know how difficult it is to find extra money. However, even a $5.00 contribution can help rural Laotian women develop their businesses.
