Sanyu is 48 years old and lives in the town of Njeru in the Mukono region of Uganda. She is married and has six children, with four of them currently in school.
For the past 15 years, Sanyu has been working hard to manage her fish-selling business. To help expand her business, Sanyu has requested a loan of 6,500,000 Ugandan shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to buy more fish for sale. This will help Sanyu to generate greater profits and her production will increase and attract more revenue. She will manage to provide basic needs for her family, such as food and clothes.
Sanyu hopes that in the future she will be able to boost her fish business more.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.
