Hi, my
name is Doris Dakei, and I am the Project Coordinator for Sistas Savve. I’ll be updating you regularly on our activities here in Honiara.
On International Women’s Day, Sistas Savve participants Irene Martha and Maria
Tuita gave public speeches about their experiences as part of Sistas Savve, the
skills they had learned during the training and how their participation was benefitting
their families and communities. As part of IWD, Sistas Savve participants also took
part in several team activities, including Tug of War and Volleyball. The women
were excited to come in first place, winning t-shirts sponsored by RAMSI!
We are
now in the final week of training for Mamana Water Community, who will be
graduating on Friday, March 23rd. The last week has been spent learning
about saving schemes, to encourage the women to save the money they are making
by selling their products through small,
but regular, deposits. In fact, after the training session, the Mamana Water
women have now selected five women who will form the first savings club!
I look forward
to keeping you up-to-date on Sistas Savve!
Cheers,
Doris
