We’ve just received an update from the South Sudanese about the microfinance groups! There are a total of 3 groups set up, with 84 people being involved and actively saving each week. The microfinance system is fully functional with loans being taken out and others being repaid. The aim now is to get up to 7 microfinance groups set up!
