Tijore J. is currently in the business of selling fruits such as mangoes, guava, oranges etc. and vegetables like cabbages,okra, etc. She is requesting a loan to purchase a fridge for keeping her fruits longer. Tijore is 30 years old and is widowed because her husband was one of the SPLA guerrillas and died in the liberation war which lasted for two decades. She has 2 children and her children go to school.
With the extra profits from her loan, she hopes to be able to buy a machine for crushing fruits into juice.
