Microloan+business+project

Microloan Business plan (this is not the final product, but a document that will be changed somewhat over the next week.) You will play the role of a woman in Malawi looking to start a small business enterprise to make money to support her family. You will be given an exact name and description. You will work in a group of 4 or 5 other women, and work with the Microloan Foundation to secure a loan. The groups will form a constitution(the rules you will abide by), and each group will do research on one essential area which affects these womens lives:agriculture and transportation, education and gender, and health and gender. You will meet several times, and by the end you will answer these questions as a group.How did things change from your original plan?What helped or impeded your success? You will also look at the millenium goal most closely aligned with your topic (agriculture, education, health). Presentations- wed Feb 25 during class time in the Rogers Room. Some Beaver faculty and Microloan Foundation staff will play the roles of: an NGO worker, a microloan foundation officer, a government official, and a MASAF (Malawi Social action Fund) officer.
