Everlyn

This is Everlyn, who is 36 years old. She is married and has four children, two of whom are still attending school and live at home. Everlyn is a high school graduate. She is a hardworking businesswoman who sells rice, oil, vita, salt, pepper, onions, drinks, candy, sugar, milk, water, and iron soap. Selling goods is a skill she learned from her aunty.

Everlyn has been running her business for five years now. She uses a car to transport her supplies, and she works six days per week, Monday through Saturday, for eight hours each day. Everlyn applied for a loan through BRAC Liberia, a Kiva lending partner, to help grow her business. With this loan, she plans to purchase more rice, oil, vita, salt, pepper, onions, drinks, candy, sugar, milk, water, and iron soap to meet the increasing demands of her customers. She enjoys interacting with her customers, as it allows her to expand her customer base. Through the profits from her business, she will be able to repay the loan and further improve her income. She values her business because it allows her to be financially independent.

Everlyn is deeply grateful for the support she has received and looks forward to using this opportunity to continue growing her business and supporting her family.
