The Sower Program

The Sower Program

Empowering Life Learners through Village Bank Funds

Our Life Learners who complete the Woman of Mercy Program are given the opportunity to participate in Village Banking to enable them to start or continue a micro business. The amount given is based on availability of funds and the number of women who qualify.

Before qualifying for the Sower Program our Life Learners go through the Woman of Mercy Program. This is to ensure that our Life-Learners gain basic entrepreneurial skills, and mentorship to empower them to succeed as they start and operate their micro business.
