Dear Oikocredit Supporter,
Oikocredit USA’s Stuart Krengel is currently in
Senegal, one of the poorest and least developed countries of the
world. This is his first trip to Africa, and first time visiting
Oikocredit partners in the field. While there, he where is visiting some
of Oikocredit’s partners there, meeting clients, working
with Oikocredit staff from around the world, and even dancing to the
beat of a Senegalese drum! Stuart is also blogging from the field – when
electricity and internet permits. You can find all of his inspiring
entries by visiting our blog:

Day 3:
Too Many Mangoes
“Oikocredit is
deeply involved in all aspects of this project from the financing,
building the business model, organizing the cooperative, and forming the
partnerships in Europe
for export. Not your typical lender, eh? Furthermore
this area of Senegal is one of the poorest regions in West Africa, so as
you can imagine, investments in such a project are a rare occurrence.
However, that is what Oikocredit does. We go
where others won’t.” Read more…
When Stuart returns, he will be holding a
special webinar to update us on his experiences, the projects he visited, and other aspects of Oikocredit’s work in Senegal on
Monday, February 25 at 3pm EST / 12 pm PST. Click here to register!
Stuart is based in San Francisco and is
available to make presentations about his experience and the work of
Oikocredit in Senegal and beyond. If you would like him to make a
presentation to your community, organization, or church, you
may contact him at skrengel@oikocredit.org.
You may have noticed that Oikocredit USA has a brand new website!
We encourage you to spend some time reading the brand new content we
have created about Oikocredit’s work in the field, in addition to
exploring our blog series, e-newsletter archives, and FAQs.
