For some time we have been eager to help the children’s mothers improve their financial situations. So many tell us that their husbands, if they do earn any money, drink it before the family can benefit.
So, how to get money into the women’s hands?
We’ve read about the way in which many women -- particularly in Bangladesh -- have been empowered by the opportunity to start small businesses with interest free loans.
Sounds like such a good idea for the women of Muttom. But we have no experience running a project like this. How to begin? We started by doing some Internet research, but really couldn’t find any useful information – except how to invite Grameen Bank to set up in our area! Well, that could take awhile, so we decided we would have to use our own common sense plus Selvi’s wealth of experience with the Muttom community.
