    This project is currently running in 4 districts; Mazabuka, Chinsali, Kasama and Mpika.
    This project will primarily seek to protect rights of all children from violence as direct beneficiaries in the next 3 years. The project will build capacity of at least 255 children from 17 schools in new project communities and 105 children already trained from 7 schools will continue to receive technical and material support to run school based child led groups. This brings the total number of children to 360 from 24 schools in the next 3 years. These children will reach and share information to at least 12,000 children through peer to peer education and school based outreach.

  • Socio-Economic Empowerment of Households through Self Help Group Approach(SHG)


    • Through SHGs approach/model, women in designated villages will come together in small groups of at least 20. The women will save together weekly and use simple-to-read economic empowerment materials and facilitators within their groups but off course with limited support from the implementing agency. They learn together how to turn their growing savings into a revolving loan fund, while learning to read at the same time. From this fund, the women make small loans to group members to start or grow small businesses. Like all good bankers, women in their ‘village banks’ then charge interest, or in areas where interest is not charged, levy an administrative fee for loans and periodically distribute accumulated interest or fees, as dividends, to bank members. Women are both bankers and borrowers, building equity not debt as they use their savings and credit to generate income. The savings-led microfinance model demonstrates that substantial scale is possible. Because of its self-help foundations, implementation is lower cost than traditional credit-led microfinance. The model empowers the women; it enables them to save, borrow, develop businesses and interest accrues to group, while fees and fines increase the group earnings. The programme provides participants a means to generate, manage and control resources thus increasing women’s decision-making in their families and ultimately improves access to educational, health and other social needs of their children and households in their respective communities. A strikingly simple concept, SHG model implements a sequence of activities that:

    • introduces literacy program through action-oriented, group instructional learning, while women save together.
    • enables women to build transparent savings and credit groups through simple, practical women's village banking, using their acquired literacy skills.
    • encourages women to borrow from their savings to develop micro-enterprises built on women learning from women.
    • facilitates village banks charging interest on their loans and then periodically distributing this interest as dividends to bank members.
    • trains women in problem-solving and advocacy to tackle the most difficult challenges facing families and communities.
    • supports the development of two income streams for a woman – one from micro-enterprise and the other in form of dividends from the village bank.
