“Saidiana is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women in lubumbashi, democratic republic of congo. We operate in an economy where it's typical for someone to earn 2 per day if they even have employment. We provide small grants to collectives of women with drive and dreams to enable them to start, improve or expand microbusinesses. The women we serve have no other access to capital. We also operate two sewing trade schools in partnership with another nonprofit, congo children trust, at which we train women in sewing and basic business skills to give them a livelihood. Additionally we operate a hair dresser training program. By giving women the opportunities to earn better livings, they have hope for a better future, contribute valuable goods and services to their communities, and are able to take better care of their children.”

“Successful operation of our two sewing trade schools continued in 2019. Twenty-four women graduated from our schools in 2019 and most are earning an additional income of 30-50 for their families with their new sewing businesses. 12,297 was spent to fund this program.”

“Our hairdresser training program (young mums)contintued in 2019. Ten impoverished teen mothers graduated from the program this year. The program has given them hope for the future as well as a way to earn supplemental income. 10,000 was raised to support this program and 10,000 was spent this year to continue it's success.”

“Our grant making program continued its development in 2019 with an extension into a new southern suburb of lubumbashi. We opened an office there, hired a local congo board, held monthly community gatherings to introduce saidiana in the community, and received several grant project proposals. 16,301 was spent on this program.”
