Alai, 33, lives in Magwi county in South Sudan and makes a living running a small tea stall. She will invest the loan money into buying stock: sugar, flour, milk, and other necessary ingredients for her business. With the loan, she will be able to diversify her business and bring in more customers.
Before setting up her business, she didn’t have her own income. She is a recent South Sudanese returnee/refugee from Sudan. Alai is a divorced mother of three children (ages 12, 10, and 5) who are all in school. She hopes to increase her income and start saving for her children’s future.
In the long term, she plans to expand her tea stall into a proper cafe, hire some help, and further grow her business.
Thanks to our generous supporters, this loan is fully funded!
