Ivan
A loan of $3,000 helps to buy refillable bottles so his business can reach more customers who could not previously afford clean drinking water.
Ivan's story
Since Ivan got his previous loan, customer satisfaction has tremendously improved in the Nakuru East Zone. Ivan's franchise is now performing well in the franchise network. He has been recognized for his outstanding performance and mentorship towards the new franchisees.
The demand for the water has gone high and Ivan does not have enough inventory capacity to supply these customers. This loan will enable Ivan to purchase more refillable bottles to supply the new demand created within his territory.
