Microloans for S. Sudanese Refugee Women in Uganda

Army attack prompts mass exodus from Magwi County South Sudan.
Regime troops – slaughter villagers like mammals as thousands flee when Pajok came under attack. Over 6,000 people have fled from Magwi County South Sudan into northern Ugandan according to the UN Refugee Agency. More inhabitants are still hiding in the bush trying to find their way to safety in Lamwo district of Uganda.

Hope Ofiriha had been grateful to the following donors: Deki (UK), Trolltech Foundation (Norway) and GlobalGiving (USA) to provide microfinance loan capital that a charity gives out in form of small loans to clients who are refugees in Uganda.

At this second reporting:
HOPE OFIRIHA had granted microloans to over 400 clients to do business to provide their families with basic needs, pay medical costs, school fees, and repay their monthly loan installment from the profits. This is working since it is creating positive effect instantly.

The new exodus of refugees had crossed into Uganda when government forces attacked Pajok Magwi County South Sudan. Most had applied for microloans. Their applications are put on the waiting list until funding becomes available. 

In South Sudan, over 200 clients had lost their stocks through armed burglary either by regime forces or the insurgents. Robbing is on an upsurge since the start of this year due to war which is escalating in South Sudan.

At the end of third quarter, we will be posting new field update to let you know the positive impact your contribution and the additional clients whom your donation help to them get new loans.
