Moureen

Moureen is 36 years old and lives in the town of Matugga in the Kawempe region of Uganda. She is married and has 3 children who are all currently in school. For the past 5 years, Moureen has been working hard to manage her grocery store, in which she sells raw food.

To help expand her business, Moureen has requested a loan of 2,000,000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to purchase more raw food and vegetables for resale and will help her to generate greater profits and support her family in meeting their essential needs.

Moureen hopes that in the future she will be able to acquire land and build a residential house. She is a member of BRAC's microfinance program that primarily serves small group members like her who do not have collateral for commercial loans but do have businesses that have grown and qualify for microloans.
