A food stand keeps growing and growing
Sikors microfinance project
The success story of Sikor Kamara:
Sikor is one of the very first women's groups to receive microfinance from the organization Mindokatie Salone. She buys bags of rice and sells them in smaller quantities. She also trades in various other foods. Since she started microfinancing, the sales of her stall have increased steadily and she has been able to buy more goods, constantly expanding her range and then selling them again. Within two years her business grew so much that she was able to pay a woman some money to look after the children in her absence.
Sikor is one of the very first women to receive interest-free microfinance in Sierra Leone. The women continue to benefit from passing on the money to this day and continue to do so.
Why is the quality of our pictures sometimes not so good?
There is a very simple reason for this: Donation money is not used for expensive cameras. The NGOs and people in the relevant countries document their stories themselves - with the means they have at their disposal. New and good cameras and cell phones are very rare there, so the quality of the pictures is as it is - but these impressions are authentic and real.
