Tenga Marcel's story
Tenga Marcel is the father of 8 children, 7 of whom go to school. He is a mechanic and opened a spare parts store in a suburb of the capital that he has managed for over 17 years. He has repaid his previous Kiva loans.
He has applied for a new loan to buy used oil cans, inner tubes, and bicycles in order to meet the demand of his customers. He wants to use these profits to reinvest in his business and save to take care of his children.
