A loan helped buy cooking oil, chicken, yams, coffee creamer, soft drinks, and onions.


Judite's story

Judite is 46 years old and is married. She has one son who is in school and two stepdaughters, one who lives with her and one to whom she sends money. She lives in her own home and helps to care for her mother.

With this loan, Judite plans to buy cooking oil, chicken, yams, coffee creamer, soft drinks, and onions in order to stock the food stand that she runs from her home and her food delivery service. She also works selling used clothing.

Judite's future plans include buying a vehicle that she can use for her business and having an independent location for her business that is in good condition. Her main challenge has been a lack of funds, and she says that she will pay off this loan on time in order to take out more loans in the future that will help her make her dreams a reality.
