Gie Karone 01/ Katack Group's story

Mrs. Suzanne, who has her hand raised in the photo, is the group leader. She is a 33-year-old married mother of five, one of whom is a girl. She has been truck farming for several years. She sells part of her produce at the border. With this loan, she plans to increase her farming business by buying several other varieties. The revenues she makes will allow her to better raise her children in regard to education and to help her husband with family expenses.
