Our theme for October is “ETC by the numbers.”
Toward the end of a program cycle, ETC helps its supported women’s groups combine into legally recognized and long-lasting cooperatives, for ongoing mutual support and entrepreneurial growth. The three cooperatives formed last year (from 46 women’s groups) now control a total of $116,262 in microcredit funds. That is an IMMENSE sum in rural Nepal, and they raised and manage it themselves!
