Last sunday we had a fundraise-event in Amsterdam. Together with San, the founder of Culture for Microcredit I presented my next project! Also we collected all kind of electronics like mobile phones and laptops to bring to Myanmar.
After last year’s pilot project with our local counterpart and CmCrepresentative, we managed to set up our second official CmC micro credit network for women in Rakain State, in the north western region of Burma. On behalf of CmC, I will travel to Rakain State in September to see how the network is going and if the women are successful with their businesses. A couple of hours up the river there is another big commun
ity. The inhabitants asked us to set up a micro credit network similar to the one down the river. Here I will set up our third CmC micro credit network for women.
