DESCRIPTION:What is this project?\n \nThe Nigerian Micro-credit Loan and Reproductive 
 Healthcare Education project has two pillars geared to enhance the 
 socio-economic stature of Nigeria. One half provides small revolving loans 
 to groups of three women in order for them to start their own businesses. 
 The other portion of this project aims to raise the awareness of 
 reproductive healthcare among teenagers and women in Ibadan, Nigeria.\n     
     .\n \nWhy should you support it?\n \nRevolving Micro-credit 
 Loans:\nWomen in the poorest families in Ibadan receive loans of about $100 
 to set up their own small businesses, including grocery stores, fruit and 
 vegetable stands, even sewing and carpentry services, to generate income 
 and improve the economic status of their families. In the previous phase of 
 this project (2006), 100% of the micro-credit loans were repaid.\n 
 \nReproductive Healthcare Education:\nOne dozen children in a family are 
 common, and go hand in hand with a high maternal and infant mortality rate. 
 Providing reproductive healthcare awareness classes to teenage high school 
 students and adult women in the city of Ibadan will educate them about the 
 importance and benefits of proper reproductive healthcare, including the 
 prevention of HIV/AIDS.\n
