January 10, 2012

Hello readers!

Jeanne (Jane) Ugirimbabazi, sews a bag for Indego Africa at Cocoki, a women's cooperative in Kigali, Rwanda. Indego Africa is a social enterprise that partners with struggling cooperatives, helping them access global retail markets while providing essential business, literacy, english, and computer skills training.

I’m trilled to announce that a photograph from The (BoP) Project, documenting the remarkable work of social enterprise Indego Africa in Kigali, Rwanda, has won the ‘Africa Award’ for the World Bank’s CGAP Microfinance Photography Competition!

The competition, now in its sixth year, hosted more than 2,000 entries from professional and non-professional photographers from over 70 countries around the world.

The winning photos can be viewed in a slideshow here
