Date: 02/03/09

Leaders: Lakshmish, Follower: Ajay

Location/ Community involved: Women group at Ramnagara, Hubli

Activity & Description:
Two women group of totally 50 members gathered for the conclusion of training program. The training program was held by Manndeshi, an organization working for women development, provides training on tailoring and computer education. After the training, if anyone interested to become self employed have the provision of taking loan upto Rs.5000/-.
According to Manndeshi’s rules and regulation of providing loan, one person should take responsibility of collecting the money from the other debtors on a commission basis. But in the group no one was willing to take the responsibility. As I was there as a volunteer of Manndeshi, I facilitated the group by clearing the roles and responsibilities of the collector. After explaining the role, a woman who stays in the same area from the past 10 years came front to take the responsibility.

Objective/ Goal: To expand the services further for the women group

Strategies:
1. Showing how useful the loan will be, by showing what the current group accessed loan are doing.
2. Telling their stories, the challenges and how they established.
