Friday 2nd December - Chongwe

Quite a few photos on the Cooperative Society in Chongwe. They have a small office and shop and a total membership of around 400 people organised into small groups depending on what they do and where they are. For example a small group we saw had a small vegtable garden that they worked between them (photos in later post). They exhibit at local, regional and national agricultural shows and are rightly proud of their success. They are all about economically empowering women in order to fight aids. Their goal is to be self sufficient financially - they wont to move away from dependency on aid.
