From age 5, they walk 6-7 miles to fetch water, peddle/hawk to contribute to the family income, and have to endure a 6 mile round trip walk to go to School, to get educated.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The African village woman live on less than a $1/day, has no access to capital, no help, and most are the breadwinners for their families. These are very hard working women, just surviving and trying to feed their children and put them through school, against all these odds.</span></span><br /> <span><span>BME TRADING LIMITED Charity supports the African village women by offering them Micro-finance under our <strong>Village Enterprise Programme</strong>, to set up their own businesses. Giving them a ‘Hand-up, and not a ‘Hand-out’.  Many women are skilled in managing on very limited funds.  With support and training from the Ripples Business Team, they’re trained on skills to help them increase their productivity, maintain standards and manage their receive. Ripples village women run various businesses including the production of Shea butter, Cocoa butter and Moringa oil.</span></span><br /> <span><span>You can make change happen, change the course of the lives of a generation, and make poverty history in future generation in African villages by buying your oils and butters from Ripples supported villages and communities</span></span><br /> <strong><strong><span><span><span>Organisations who support BME Concern/Ripples can benefit by:</span></span> <span><span>Buying premium, grade A butters and oils assured of the quality of the products</span></span> <span><span>Funding Micro-financing and giving poor village women the chance to work their way out of poverty; giving a ‘Hand-up.</span></span> <span><span>‘Adopting an African Village’ provides the evidence of your corporate responsibility, providing much needed amenities that change lives and offer opportunity to the next generation, and breaking the circle of poverty.</span></span> <span><span>Receiving evidence of your how your money is spent as shown in photos and videos of the villages you support; evidence you can use for promoting products you make using products the butters and oils produced by our African women</span></span> <span><span>Having and using Ripples Chatter mark, that confirms your support to the African village woman and her desire to work and give her children and family a better life. </span></span> </p>
