A loan helped to buy bundles of ready-to-wear clothes, packets of perfume, and beauty products at wholesale.


Anna's story

Mrs. Anna is a brave, divorced woman with no children. She sells cosmetic products and ready-to-wear clothing. With her loan, she plans to improve her business by buying bundles of ready-to-wear clothes at 5,000f wholesale to sell at retail for 8,000f to 10,000f. She also plans to increase her stock of beauty products and accessories for women. With her profits, she will use a portion to pay for her shop's rent, and the rest will go towards paying for her personal needs.
