Self-Development

Group Sipo Magazen (GSM), Leogane

In 2004 the PC(USA) Self-Development of People (SDOP) program made a grant of $20,000 to this project. A group of marginalized women suffer from lymphatic filiarasis, an irreversible disease that permanently disfigures its victim. Needing each other's support and an economic base, they set up a store that sells products to members at below-market prices. The SDOP grant helps pay for many of the start-up costs involved.
