This is Adama Bangura, Fatu Tarawalie and Mariatu Kargbo, who belong to the Adamu group, named after their group leader. This will be the fourth loan the group is requesting from SMT/Kiva, the previous ones, all since repaid, having had a huge impact on their lives. This group is now requesting a new loan to further strengthen their businesses.



Adama (pictured on the right) is the leader of this group. Married with four children, 40-year-old Adama was born in Makeni, in northern Sierra Leone and has been a businesswoman selling dried fish for many years. With this loan, she will be able to buy about two baskets full of dried fish. At Tongbo village (about 170 miles from Makeni), where she normally makes her purchases, a dozen fish cost her about Le 60,000 – Le 70,000.00.
