Latifa
A loan of $1,275 helps to buy more grains in preparation for the lean season.
Latifa's story
Latifa is a 31-year-old entrepreneur who lives with her husband and two children in the West Mamprusi district in Ghana. With her previous Kiva loan, she bought more goods for her grain business. She used the profit she earned to reinvest in her business. Latifa is requesting another loan to buy more grains in preparation for the lean season. She plans to use the profit she earns to reinvest in her business.
She will repay the "social interest" on her second loan by volunteering 2.5 hours per week as a Camfed Learner Guide, facilitating classes from Camfed’s "My Better World" program with students at her local secondary school, helping to build their self-esteem and motivating them to remain in school.
