This week has flown by! It's already Thursday and I find myself wondering where the time went. We disseminated hundreds of profile sheets this week to micro-business owners in multiple loan groups, and next week we will collect all of those that have yet to return them. At each meeting we briefly explained the purpose of the forms (to create online profiles so people in the U.S. can choose to loan money to a micro-business owner in Mathare) and attempted to answer any questions. It is a time consuming task because many of the people struggle to read/write/ understand English, and my Swahili is infantile:)
Next week when we collect all the completed profiles, the other two interns and I will work as fast as possible to complete profiles for them all. We will also begin traveling around to each individual's business in order to get pictures to use on the profiles as well. There is a mountain of work to be done, but we're excited at our progress and fired up to continue!!
