World Pulse pulse change the abnormal to normal.



Phone calls are normal but this one wasn't. Early morning is a busy time either with office or normal house routine. The day was quite unique. I suddenly heard an incoming ring tone. I dashed to reach out my phone expecting the normal. "Hello! Please help" the voice faintly vanished. I called back the unidentified caller who introduced herself to me and explained the agony of the first caller. It was a widow held up by the financier.



After a long discussion, pity run my nervous system and had nothing to wait but safe the situation. The widow had borrowed funds from a financing organisation and failed to pay for two months. Her hotel work was put on stop and the financier made away with her leaving her children and work unattended.



I personally stretched out a helping hand and asked  to visit her after one day. I went talked to her, encouraged and advised her on the way forward then left. She was unable to pay $40 in two months.



After one week we organised to form a group of 10 widows. After meeting and discussing about our problems together, the group joined Kithyululu Development initiative and called their group SYAKAKE widow group. We are now three months old and have done great. The members loans in other financing organisation are paid in time, the children are in school and we have our in group borrowing of $50 weekly.



Guess what all these success came from the advises from my sister on World Pulse. We are eagerly waiting for investors in our projects. 



Live long World Pulse! We salute you at Kithyululu Development initiative.
