A loan helped a member to buy onions from farmers for resale.


Nawun - Yiko Pwalugu Group's story

Esther is a 38-year-old widow and mother of two children. She lives in Pwalugu, a community in the upper east region of Ghana. She is the individual seated in the middle among colleagues with her hand raised in the photo. Esther is a member of a group called 'Nawun Yiko - Pwalugu'. She sells onions at a place called Tollbooth near the main road leading to the city of Bolga. Esther has been in this business for seven years. She aspires to add another line of business, but she is challenged with inadequate capital. Esther and her group have requested a loan of 22,400 GHC. Her share of the loan is 1000 GHC, which will be used to buy onions for resale. Esther depends on the loan to grow her business until she has adequate funds for her business needs. She wants to earn more income to repay this loan and support her children so they can live a dignified life. Esther is very grateful to her lenders for the support.
