We are the Kamben Women's Group in Dialacoto, Senegal, West Africa and are seeking your help to buy equipment to start our business. 

 

We are comprised of 15 women between the ages of 18 and 61 and are mothers of 125 children.

 

Our village lies on a main road and provides an opportunity for commerce.  Ice is a very popular product currently sold here, but as there is no electricity in Dialacoto ice is made in a town 1 hour away and then resold here.

 

We want to make and sell ice locally.

 

We already have a freezer and 4 solar panels yet we need a couple other pieces of equipment.  

 

We are seeking your help to purchase:

  • 2 more solar panels ($1,100)
  • 4 batteries to store the power and a converter box ($1,400)

 

(If our goal amount is exceeded we plan to buy additional equipment so we can increase our production.)

 

We believe this will allow us to create a sustainable source of income for us and our families.

 

We are not seeking a "hand out" but rather a "hand up"---a helping hand to get us started.

 

Thank you for reading this and considering helping us.

 

 

PS:  Generosity.com requires use of an American Bank for donations.  As we are in Dialacoto, Senegal, West Africa we are using a friend in the USA to accept donations all of which will be sent to us in Africa via Western Union.  We will be happy to send you a copy of the Western Union transfer if you would like one.
