Savings Loans Association Chindwin Home Based Care (SLA) has always known from its early days of inception and needs assessments that one of the key solutions to help mitigate the impact of Poverty and HIV/AIDS at household level is through CASH-Transfers.
What is Cash-Transfer? Cash Transers can take many forms. They can be given to households as a unit becuase tehy meet poverty or vulerability creteria, to an individual such as an elderly person or disabled person, or to families based on the pressence of individuals such as children, girls , or orphans. Cash transfers can be unconditional-giving with out obligations-or conditional-tied to obligations of receipients t participate in work or training, education, health, nutrition or other services or activities-or they can be linked to these activiteis but not boligatory.
SLA supports Cash-transfer programs through its small innovative micro loans programs becuase tehy provide for current basic needs of adults adn children such as food and clothing. They can also contribute to development processes, by enabling or encouraging investment in assests that increase people's chances of breaking out of poverty in lthe long-term. Cash transfer programs can also have additional benefits sucha as women's autonomy and capacities, or strengthening capacities of local communites.
SLA has giving out Cash Transfers to 30 members with anverage of USD 200 per group and we kindly appeal for individuals and organizations to help SLA scale-up its program with another grant of USD 10,000 for supporting an additional group of women with cash-transfers that is paid back to the organization so that another group is assisted and hence the cycle of poverty reduction continues
