Prossy
A loan of $825 helps to purchase more tomatoes and raw fresh food to sell.
Prossy's story
Prossy is 33 years old and lives in the town of Makindye in the Makindye region of Uganda. She is married and has 3 children, 2 of whom are currently in school. For the past 8 years, Prossy has been working hard to manage her grocery store, which sells raw food.
To help expand her business, Prossy has requested a loan of 3,000,000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to purchase more tomatoes and raw fresh food to sell. This will help Prossy generate greater profits and to buy food for her family.
Prossy hopes that in the future she will be able to expand her business to a bigger food stall. She is a member of BRAC's Microfinance Program (MF). The program primarily serves small group members, like Prossy, who do not have collateral for commercial loans, but do have businesses that have grown and qualify for micro loans.
