Single Moms in Guyana

A small loan has turned around Bhimwattie  fortunes   

She uses a machete to prepare a patch of land where she will grow 700 sweet pepper plants.

The crop will be ready in time for Guyana's Christmas holiday season, when the peppers :

- which are used in a number of the South American nation's popular dishes -

sell for high prices.

Mrs Sahid owns and runs a successful small farm near the border with neighbouring Suriname.

                                     

This 63-year-old single mother who struggled to bring up two girls following the death of her

husband in 2003, has seen her fortunes transformed over the past four years,

thanks to the introduction of a small loan scheme aimed at women like herself.....

wait wait...a story of success from hard work in Guyana and no drugs involved?!  ::LOL::

That's good.


A lot of women all over the world are starting their own business.

Good Luck to this programme : kudos to the Bank !
