Women's groups in Senegal are driving force behind economic progress
The Hunger Project Senegal (THP) has been working in Senegal since 1998. THP started an epicentre in Coki in 2001. From there THP guides several women's groups, to ensure they receive legal acknowledgement as Groupements d'Epagne et Crédit (GEC). In July of 2001 these groups received THP's first credit. They have had guidance ever since. ICCO is supporting THP with additional funding for 2009-2011.
Farmers and nomads on their way towards economic independence
ICCO has been financing CERFLA's programmes since 1998. This organisation works in Senegal on improving the position of marginalized people. The groups and communities that CERFLA guided six years before have been made economically independent, between 2006 and 2008. Between 2009 and 2011 CERFLA will be starting this trajectory in two new zones.
A primary school in Senegal which offers more than education
The Collège Privé d'Espérance Laïque (CPEL) is a private primary school for 450 students in Senegal. The school consists of an equal number of boys and girls, aged 4 to 16. For its oldest students CPEL creates vocational training after they graduated primary school. With ICCO's financing the school is able to strengthen itself.
Information through music
Ngaari Laaw is a Senegalese music group and the socially inspired singer Abou Thiam is in charge of it. The band deals with socially delicate matters through music, events, music videos and films. They are able to reach out to large groups of women and young people, on issues such as women's circumcision and HIV/Aids.
Bigger loans for successful businesswomen
Caurie is a well-organised microfinance institute which focuses on poor women from rural communities in two Senegalese rural regions. The organisation is growing rapidly and had over 12,000 clients halfway through 2007. Cauri needs a loan of 50,0000 euros to be able to lend this money and distribute it in little sums at a time to local, poor women. Credit suppliers such as Oikocredit believe it is too risky to supply such a big loan to a young organisation which is growing so fast. Within this project Terrafina Microfinance supplies a 30% guarantee to Caurie on one of Oikocredit's loans, so that it is able to get it.
