A loan of $825 helps to buy more tailoring machines.
Faridah's story
Faridah is 41 years old and lives in the town of Gayaza, in the Gayaza region of Uganda. She is married and has four children, all of whom are currently in school. For the past 5 years, Faridah has been working hard to manage her tailoring and soft drinks business, where she sells drinks and tailors clothes.
To help expand her business, Faridah has requested a loan of 3,000,000 Ugandan shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to buy more tailoring machines, which will help Faridah to generate greater profits and improve her family's standard of living. Faridah hopes that in the future, she will be able to expand her business.
She is a member of BRAC's Microfinance (MF) Program. The program primarily serves small group members, like Faridah, who do not have collateral for commercial loans but do have businesses that have grown and qualify for microloans.
