Rebecca is a 28-year-old single mother of two children (ages 4 and 2) living in Magwi County, South Sudan. She faces many difficulties raising her children in the absent of their father without money. To provide for their essential needs, she started a little business selling beans, maize, cooking oil, cabbages, yellow banana, and onion.
Rebecca started this business not only to provide for her family but in the hope that she could make enough money to fulfill her dream of opening a guesthouse. Sadly, at this time her lack of income means she cannot make enough profit to move forward with her plans. A microloan, however, will change everything for Rebecca. It will bring her one step closer to making this dream come true. It will also help ensure that Rebecca will be able to earn enough money to educate her children to a university level and save money for old age.
With her loan Rebecca will buy two sacks of beans, two sacks of maize flour, one Jerry can of cooking oil, one box of cabbage, three boxes of yellow bananas, and one sack of onions to fully stock her little shop.
