Anna, 37 has two jobs: she is the village midwife, and she also runs a phone kiosk in her village. With the loan funds she will buy two mobile phones and pre-paid phone cards. This will help boost her business.
Anna is a widow and a sole supporter of her five children. Her children are ages 9 to 20, and the two oldest have finished school. She also supports her elderly mother. In the mornings, she works at the village clinic and in the afternoons and evenings (2 to 9 p.m.) she earns extra income running her phone kiosk.
In the future she would like to expand her business to other villages and to save capital.
