Mwangaza Ii/Nyawera Group's story

Madame Maria is a client with IMF Hekima and she is the president of the “Mwangaza II/ Nyawera” group. She is divorced, 48 years old, and the mother of 6 children, who are all in school.

She sells charcoal. She started this business 10 years ago with starter funds she earned herself. Later, she chose the Hekima program to support her business, during which she has gradually progressed.

With this new loan, she will stock up on bags of charcoal wholesale, which will strengthen her initial capital. The difficulties with her work are related to lack of merchandise.

She would like her children to continue to study and she would like to continue to develop her business. Lastly, she wishes to thank Hekima and their partners for their support of unbankable entrepreneurs.
