7. MURUSI WOMEN'S GROUP (AKWORO SUB COUNTY)

Views from the group

• They want a bore hole.
• The number of people who need loans is increasing yet the money for loaning is not enough.
• They wish they can introduce an adult literacy center because most people are illiterate.
• Most of them cannot afford to take their children to school.
• Communication is a major problem. If only some board members can be given mobile phones for the smooth running of the work.
• They are lacking garden tools e.g. hoes and pangas, since most of them are peasants.
• They don't have market for their cotton.
• Health facility is needed because the healthy centers are few.
• They need schools to educate their children.
• They need seeds for example cotton seeds.
• They wish they could get some sewing machines so that they can generate some income.
• They wish they could bring in exotic breed of domestic animals such as goats and cows to get high breed.
• Capacity building is also so as to be guided on how their project can be run.

They have been working with Joshua. They thought that he was going to send some representatives to work upon them.

Following the average amount of money that Joshua gave to them they wish it could be increased.

They use some of this money to send their children to hospitals.

One of the activities done by these ladies is that they make ropes, and others sell fire wood form which they earn a living.

Some of them are elderly and most of them are taking care of orphans and yet they are vulnerable.

They thank Joshua for helping them; most of them are now able to take their children and orphans to school and to look after them.

They ask if they can be provided by nut grinding machines.
