SEDA is currently developing a project to support low-income, single women in
financial crises. With little or no education and a family to support, many
women in Laos struggle to feed their children and keep a roof over their
heads. Often they find themselves alone after their husbands have left or
died, without money to send their children to school or make a better life
for themselves.
Using a microfinance program designed especially for these women, SEDA is working
to create financial opportunity and independence, helping women develop
small sustainable businesses and services, manage their new income and
create a brighter future for themselves and their children.
