A Bauchi-based nongovernmental organisation, Rahama Women Development Programme, says it has trained and provided soft loans to about 18, 000 women across four states of the North East region.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the organisation, Mallam Mohammed Inuwa Bello, disclosed this during the inauguration of the Board of Trustees of Rahama, in Bauchi.

Bello said disbursements of loans to beneficiaries was preceded by training on financial management to equip the women with basic skills required in running businesses at the grassroots level.

“We trained over 15 thousand women in Bauchi, Alkaleri, Tafawa Balewa, Katagum, Darazo, Zaki, Dass, Misau and Bogoro LGAS in Bauchi state while we equally extended similar support to about three thousand women in neighbouring Adamawa, Gombe and Plateau states in the past 6 years, ” Inuwa Bello added.

According to him, beneficiaries of Rahama loans scheme acquired skills in trades such as sewing, knitting, spaghetti making and production of local packaged food and were later supported with machines for their businesses.
