  13. Saving with Education This year we began implementing a program called: SAVING WITH EDUCATION, its objective is to organize the participants in groups so they by themselves can be able to save, manage, grant loans to one another and administrate their groups in a responsible way. Taking into account the education component the participants develop their potential of leadership and their entrepreneurial character.The Board of Directors is empowered so that they can manage their own saving groups with efficiency and autonomy.

  14. Requirements • Each group has to have 10 to 25 participants. • 70% has to be formed by women. • Board of Directors: it is elected by the participants. The participants have to be saving money throughout the year. • Loans: by the third month of savings the group may give a loan to any of the participants needing one. • Workshops: weekly the participants need to assist to different workshops.

  15. Rules • Rules: in this program they DECIDE THEIR OWN rules. • The program cycle is completed in one year. • Equitable distribution of income (which may be in penalties, interest and/or savings)

  16. Social Goal Social Goal: The participants select a project which is completed at the end of the year. The project can be done to help the church or the community.

  17. Monitoring and Evaluation: Both monitoring and ongoing supervision are key to the success of these programs. ERD visits our programs.
