A loan helped a member to stock up on two bales of second-hand clothing to strengthen her initial capital.


Dieu La Group's story

Ziada is one of Hekima's clients and the leader of the Dieu La Group. She is married, thirty-four years old and the mother of three children, two of whom attend school. Her partner is a driver.

She sells second-hand clothing. She started this business in 2007 with start-up funds she received from her husband. Later, she joined Hekima's program to support her business as it developed gradually. With this new loan, she plans to stock up on 2 bales of second-hand clothing, to strengthen her initial capital. Her main business challenge is related to a lack of merchandise.

She would like to build a house. She would like to thank Hekima and its partners for supporting business owners who lack access to traditional baking services, especially in the context of the Covid-19 global pandemic. Only the leader of the group is shown in the photo due to Covid-19.
