“Now we are able to discuss our problems, needs and solutions within our community”
10 September 2006
Mohammad “Now we are able to discuss our problems, needs and solutions within our community. CO members contribute every month to the saving account, for which we have two signatories, and the money is spent only after the community’s consensus,” explained Mohammad. “Our female CO has been able to save 22,000 rupees. Recently our CO members took out an interest-free loan and we are all contributing to repayments. This has helped us overcome our financial problems. Now our children are following their elders and have formed a CO too! They have saved 2500 rupees.”
As well as providing loans to help people restart their businesses, Islamic Relief has worked with Mohammad’s community to set up an education centre that provides children with free part-time schooling. We have also used the COs to deliver hygiene awareness training to prevent the spread of disease
