A Savings & Loans Group - 2022-09-10

This book describes the successful setting up of a small women’s co-operative in Africa.
Its way of working could equally well be followed by a membership consisting of men only or, if culturally appropriate, of both men and women. Whatever the membership, co-operative principles require that each member has an equal voice in making decisions and that these can only be put into effect with the consent of all the members.

It uses material from the public domain.
