Banyama Muzuke Group's story

Ms. Marthe is a client of Hekima MFI and is the president of the village group "Banyama muzuke". She is married, 38 years old and has 6 children who are all in school.

Her partner is a doctor. She is a seller of second hand clothes, she started this business 3 years ago with the start up funds received from her husband. Later she involved the Hekima program to support her business, during which it gradually evolved. With this new loan, she is going to buy 30 balloons of used clothes, which will strengthen her initial capital. The challenge of her business is the lack of customers.

She would like her children to continue studying and to feed her family. Finally, she would like to thank Hekima and its partners for supporting non-monetizable business owners in this global crisis context related to covid-19. The photo is only of the leader of the group because of covid-19 in respect of the social distancing measures.
