Safinah is 49-year-old married mother of five children (ages 17, 15, 13, 10, and 8). She’s the sole breadwinner in her family. Her five children go to a primary school.
Safinah runs a kiosk where she sells soft drinks and beer to provide for her family’s basic needs as well as her children’s school fees. She would like to move her business to an area with more foot traffic so she can increase her sales and profits. Her dream is to save enough money to build a permanent home for her family and have savings in her old age.
She will use her loan to buy Coca-cola, Fanta, juice fruit, sugar, beer, tea-leaves, coffee, and five sacks of charcoal, enabling her to make a good profit and repay her loan.
