Co-Op Up and Running!
Four of our entrepreneurs started a community store with their loan money. By combining their loans, they were able to hire another member of their village to build them a shop – now not only are our entrepreneurs benefiting off this co-op, but Steven (the builder) was provided with a job as well. By the time I left training, they had already started construction. Building is over, products are bought, and the store is open for business!

The shop is located on a main road into the village. Perfect!
