Iringa Hope

Develop Village SACCOS: Iringa Hope makes funds available to the Iringa Hope INGO to give grants to new and existing village SACCOS to bring up their paid-in capital so they are able to make more loans to members. Funds provided by Iringa Hope are not always used in the year the grant is made.
