Women Help Themselves Through A Co-op
Wednesday 20 May, 2015 - 8:22
A women’s co-operative in Malawi shows that people can learn to help themselves with great results.
In her article titled ‘Working for a better future for all in Malawi’, Isabel Conway writes that determined to rise above bare subsistence and hunger, 200 women now belong to the thriving Kangamowa Cooperative that provides low interest loans to the needy and ploughs any profits into extending their agri-business activities.
She adds that the potholed track winds past huddles of thatched mud huts and squalid stalls selling withered vegetables and maize.
