Thanks to all the players
With completing our budget, we will make sure that 100 families will get théír chance to develop. As soon as the the money reaches Ghana, we will disburse the loans in amounts of €50 to the women. They have started creating groups already and are waiting for the loans. A small video to give thanks to you, but also to show you what is going to happen with your money!

A grateful project manager,

Reinier

We made it, thanks to all 96 Players!
Dear players,

The great news has just reached me. We have just arrived at the project site and what better news could reach us?! Through the efforts of 96 players the project has completed its target. Soon 100 families here in the Northern part of Ghana are going to be adopted by the Casud Microfinance project. Casud will finance small loans with the Pifworld budget. It means the start of a dream for 100 women and their families.

I would like to thank you very much for your efforts and donations. We have bundled our strength through the Pifworld site, and look what's happened. Supporting Pifworld from the start, the Casud staff is very excited it has finished its first Pifworld project.

Special thanks go out to our Ambassadors, especially Hadewich who has done a great job mobilizing her friends; to Tromps Meesters College in Rijswijk; to all other players that have shown their empathy; and ofcourse the Pifworld staff. Great job everybody! We will keep you posted about the progress of Casud's activities!

Thanks to all,

Reinier Schneider
Project Coordinator

A truck for Tamale...surprise!
Tamale; our final destination is reached! The past weeks we have been driving through the center of West Africa: Senegal, Gambia, Mali and Burkina. What an experience! With all people being so relaxed, the world would look much nicer! We were able to visit the great towns of Djenne, Dakar, St. Louis and Ouagadougou. Even the roads where most of the times quite oke; allowing us to travel with an average of 50 km/h.

Because we did not tell the project staff we would come: the arrival was one great surprise to them! First they didn't believe it, until they saw the stickers on the vehicle that indeed was their logo. The Hilux proved its value on bad roads and it will be of great help to the organisation. Let's hope they will take as good care of it as we did!

Thank you RSG Tromp for your generous donation and off course all other Players that donatd in the past weeks. Only 50 euros to go to realise this project on Pifworld: Play it Forward!

Project Information

Theme: entrepreneurentrepreneur
Group: womanwoman
Location: Ghana show on map

Partner: Casud
Motivation
We loan micro-credits to poor female entrepreneurs, who have a small business in trading, food selling, etc. With these small loans the women are capable of expanding their business. By increasing the sales, they are able to raise their profit. The great thing of this extra income is that the women are now capable of sending their children to school, feed the family an extra meal a day and increase the health and sanitation situation of their families.
