Christine, 47, makes a living producing and selling charcoal. She will invest the loan funds into a wood cutter machine and sacks so that she can expand her production.
Christine is a widow single-handedly caring for four children (ages 14 to 22) and three siblings. Before setting up her own business, she worked for someone else as a porter. Now she feels that by working harder, she can take control of her own earnings.
The loan will help her to expand her business and start saving money for the future. One day she would like to open a restaurant.
