Our Clients Stories

Few excerpts that confirm that importance of helping eager and economic active poor families achieve their livelihood and highest potential, even in times of economic uncertainty.

“I am very glad for the kind of help I received from Sabu Help. Life has been a challenge for me and my family. Last year my children stopped going to school because I don’t have money to pay for school fees. My children don’t get the daily meal they deserve. They only get one meal a day and that is all…….. Last year when I received the funds from Sabu Help I bought a chicken, a goat and acquire seed for farming. I have harvested 3 bags of rice. Now I am happy because when I wake up and see a smile on my children face, it make my day goes well. I am so happy for the people who are helping us. May God bless them! I hope that they will continue to help my neighbors who are in the same life situation like me. ~Atankalia Anumie

“Sabu Help fund has helped me acquire seeds for farming, acquire two chickens and a goat to rear. Last year, I was waiting to get the government loan but I didn’t get any because their money was finish. Then I heard of Sabu Help and decided to join the group. Today, I am happy for the opportunity to join Sabu Help. I am glad to see great smile on my children face for the reason that I am able to feed them in the morning and evening. ….My elder son has stopped schooling and runaway to the city to look for job. Now I don’t know where he is but I hope that he will safe and God will bless him. ~ Akankonge Akologo

…….Last two years, members from my village committed suicide because they obtained a loan from the government and were not able to payback due to the failure of their crops. Then last year, the NPP government was giving another loans and I didn’t want to collect some because I was afraid I will die like the others. They government loan is not good for us because they harass us when our crops fails and if we are not able to payback. Sabu Help model is different. They give you up to three years to pay…..The funds I received from Sabu Help enable me to farm rice, and rear sheep. Now, I am taking my children back to school. I thank God and I Thank Sabu Help. ~ Mammy Abinvoe 

The best way to help the poor children is to create jobs and opportunities for their parents 

Training and Education

Just lending micro loans to the needy families is not the only effective way to help them or solve their problems. Helping and teaching to provide the means to receive education and training will help the clients to gain skills and understandings about how to be successful and how to support themselves over a long period of time.  Training includes:

• Financial Literacy and Management
• Income Generating and Basic Businesses Management
• Marketing of Local Products and Businesses
•  Accounting System and Documentation 
  

We hope that through our mission and vision, they can learn to manage both their money and businesses as a result of provision of the funds we lend to them.  We hope that by providing education and training will help them to understand and to think for themselves in creative ways that will help them both individually and in their communities.
