Sarah

Sarah is 46 years old and lives in the town of Njeru in the Mukono region of Uganda. She is married and has 5 children with 4 of them currently in school.

For the past 8 years Sarah has been working hard to manage her beauty salon, which plaints hair and does hair treatment. To help expand her business, Sarah has requested a loan of 4,000,000 UGX from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to purchase enough weaves, hair lotion, and hair treatment to attract more customers, and will help Sarah to generate greater profits and improve her family's standard of living by providing them with enough food and clothes.

Sarah hopes that in the future she will be able to build rental units for a business. 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.
