Women in CAR are seen as having no rights, many have no education and the chance to earn a living or be financially independent is rare. Widows, unmarried women and those whose husbands can’t earn enough to support their families face extreme poverty. Mercy Corps has set up village savings and loan schemes to help local women to save money, get the start up capital they need to start small businesses, take control of their own lives and support their families
