Mustard Seed Microcredit Project

Who are you trying to help? What issue are you trying to address?

Mustard Seed Microcredit project (MusMicP), a Cameroon based and registered Common Initiative Group, is looking for partners and funding to provide micro loan to poor women for their income generating activities. In north-west Region of Cameroon, microcredit project is fairly new. The project aims at reaching out to many women who are in desperate need of micro loan to start up small business. We also would like to set up a sustainable system of credit and capacity building and train the women to be able to read and write so as to be able to keep the records of their businesses.
