Zainabu, 47, makes a living selling vegetables and other groceries in her little shop. She is a hardworking businesswoman set on growing her business. She will use her loan to expand her shop’s inventory and attract more customers.
Zainabu is a single mother taking care of her two children (ages 16 and 5). They are both in school, with the younger one in primary school. Schools in Uganda are not free. She also supports her elderly parents. Zainabu typically works long days from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. six days a week. With hard work and a bit of support, Zainabu hopes to save money and open a guest house one day.
She says, “This loan gives me new hope to have a happy life and my family will be better off now than before.”
