Magdalene
A loan of $2,275 helps purchase garlic in bulk for retail.
Magdalene's story
Magdalene is a 27-year-old entrepreneur who lives with her husband in Garu Tempane district in Ghana. With her previous Kiva loan, she expanded her business in the sale of garlic. She used the profit she earned to support her daily needs. Magdalene is requesting another loan to purchase garlic in bulk for retail. 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.
