¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
LIN is in its initial stage that members are attending a weekly literacy education. The educational activities are done in a “study circles” where an appointed supervisor gives an introduction to the basics of entrepreneurship, granting the potential LIN members the correct understanding of the nature of debt, financial obligation, financial planning, reading and writing, business mathematics and other social and economic issues. And it is adding values into the lives of its networkers by giving them assurance that household conflicts and fears will be reduced and as a result unemployment will be lessened and more jobs will be created, while a sense of community belonging and a more intolerant stance towards crime and the misuse of resources will be developed. The program partners Initiative Development – ID Ghana, will give loans to the networkers to get something doing.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
