Ararati (Bethsaida) Group's story
Judith is a client of Hekima IMF and chairs the village group Ararati (Bethsaida). She is married, 37 years of age, and the mother of 4 children, all of whom are in school. Her partner is a merchant.
She is a shoe seller. She started this business 5 years ago with the start-up funds received from her husband. Later she involved the Hekima program to support her business, during which time she developed it gradually.
With this new loan, she will stock up on shoes, which will strengthen her initial capital. The challenge of her business relates to late payment.
She would like her children to continue studying and wants to develop her business. Finally, she would like to thank Hekima and its partners for the support provided to owners of non-bankable businesses.
