Investing in local community development
ABCD and Funding
Hi
Framework wise, when working with a community in Nairobi, they were using a merry go round scheme where by they would collectively save money and then nominate one member of the savings group to loan the money to at a low interest rate. When the loan was repaid with the interest, another member of the group was nominated and so on. I'm pretty sure this is used in the UK too and no doubt it could work with outside investment.
