An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A susu or sou-sou or osusu or asue (also known as a merry-go-round, Partner or Pawdna in Jamaica and sol in Haiti)) is a form of rotating savings and credit association, a type of informal savings club arrangement between a small group of people who take turns by "throwing hand", as the partners call it. The name is used in Africa (especially West Africa) and the Caribbean. The basic principle is that each member of the group makes a standard contribution to a common fund once per some time period. Then each period the total contributions are disbursed to a single member of the group. The recipient changes each period in a rotating fashion such that all the members of the group are eventually recipients. Participants of a susu do not make a profit, but receive their contributions as a lum
