Robina

Robina is 54 years old and lives in the town of Kabuusu in the Makidye region of Uganda. She is married and has 3 children. For the past 30 years, Robina has been working hard to manage her Boutique, which sells all kinds of adult clothes, like shirts, dresses etc. To help expand her business, Robina has requested a loan of 2500000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to purchase more fashionable clothes for resale and will help Robina to generate greater profits and manage to provide some basic needs and food for her family. Robina hopes that in the future she will be able to become a powerful businesswoman and own a big shop in town. She is a member of BRAC's microfinance program that primarily serves small group members like her who do not have collateral for commercial loans but do have businesses that have grown and qualify for microloans.
