Wadenya Update Again (Sept 3)

Yet another meeting with the Wadenya group and they have changed their mind about the garden, which is great, actually. They decided they want to put their loan towards starting a maize mill, which is actually brilliant. It’s much more sustainable, profitable, and would actually help their area. I brought in a microloan guy who said their business loan policy can’t really help them though because they’d have to start paying it off within two weeks, which is unrealistic. So he’s still going to help them get a loan, but they’ll have to start a different business and work up to getting a maize mill. We’ll see how that goes.
