A loan helped to buy used clothes.


Ilci Leojana's story

Ilci, at her 26 years of age, is a mother of 2 children and a hardworking woman. In part of her house, she has an area where she sells used clothes, cosmetics and perfume, etc. At the weekends she also makes and sells tamales, which have made her popular and well frequented by her neighbours. She needs capital for her business to buy used clothes such as sweaters, jackets and windbreakers as due to the heavy rains people see the need to wrap up. She knows that the attention she pays people and the way she serves those who visit her have been part of her growth as a small busineswoman. As a wife she shares her income to support her children and supports her husband with projects they share as a couple.
