At the youth camps during the ‘Putting Youth at the Center Staget’ project, it was clear that several participants had great ideas on how to earn money for themselves and their families
But they lacked start-up capital. Not a lot of money, typically around $1000 USD to get started.
Inspired by the energy and great ideas from the youth camps, CICED decided to earmark DKK 70,000 of our savings for micro-credits for young people in the Helambu region. So far, six projects have received seed funding. All loans are repaid as agreed.
