Madam Tida, 61 years old, is married and the mother of one child. She has three other dependent children. With her new loan, she plans to buy fabrics, natural hair (grafting and wigs for women), and shoes to sell. Her profits will be used to strengthen her savings to be able to manage the business by herself.
