SEDA’s micro finance project is going from strength to strength, but we still need your help to help as many women as possible work their way out of poverty.
Interest has been shown by international buyers to purchase the textiles produced by the women of Ban Hai – potentially doubling their traditional earnings. One buyer is traveling to Singapore to personally meet the women behind the beautiful fabrics. The women are very excited at the prospect of a big deal, and are working hard, but they need the micro-credit loans to buy the materials and tools to create textiles in large quantities.
SEDA’s innovative project has been in the media recently, including an article in Micro-Finance Insights magazine.
Please keep supporting this socially responsible and innovative scheme – the money you donate makes a real difference, and with your help, SEDA can expand the project to include more women.
As always, we want to hear your feedback and suggestions. Please email your comments to info@seda-laos.org. And if you want to get the latest updates on SEDA activities, you can follow us on twitter, http://twitter.com/sedalaos.
