Esinyati Anna Women Group

From Loolakirr, this is a group of 17 extremely focused, although basically illiterate, women.  They managed to squeeze their expenses in their first year of receiving the WILK livestock loan, selecting good animals for fattening, managing them well, and surprising themselves and everyone else with a high net profit of $1200 after repaying the loan of $2000!

Enkishaiki Lenkisem Women Group

This is a group of 15 and the first LAB group from Lenkisem; they are a warm, welcoming and well-organized group determined to improve life for themselves, their families and the community. Oh….and they LOVE to sing!
