Vision Sg Group's story

Julie is a client of the microfinance institution Hekima IMF and leader of the "Vision Sg" groupe villageoise. She is married, forty-two years old, and the mother of six children, all of whom attend school. Her partner is a civil servant.

She sells various products in her shop at a business she started seven years ago 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 will stock up on juice, drinks, oil, Omo soap, and sugar, which will strengthen her working capital. Her business does not have any problems.

She would like her children to continue to study and to develop her business. Finally, she would like to thank Hekima and its partners for supporting business owners without access to traditional banking services in the context of the Covid-19 global epidemic.
