Organisation profile

Coopec-Kalundu is a program working in the fields of social development, the social economy, education and healthcare, which combines the granting of loans with the provision of health care and nutrition to the poor, particularly to poor women from rural communities in Congo, who represent some 87% of the borrowers.
In practice, an educator goes from village to village to teach groups of women about healthcare and nutrition, with a view to helping them make better use of the income they earn from their businesses, launched thanks to microcredit funding, which the organization resumed in October 2000. To date, over 198 such groups have been created and trained in administrative and commercial management.
Precisely because it is so highly successful, Coopec-Kalundu cannot meet the demand for loans and would welcome any organization interested in contributing or partnering them.
