Abstract:
After considering a number of models of microfinance, the Bunyoro-Kitara Diocese of the Anglican Church of Uganda embarked on an effort to promote user-owned and managed savings and credit associations to bring economic, social, and spiritual development to very poor people in western Uganda. This case study documents those efforts, highlighting both the successes and ongoing challenges.
