Mambo (Greetings!) from Tanzania! This is 34-year-old Sabina Anyimike from Mbeya. She is married, with three children between the ages of 6 and 11. Additionally, she is responsible for supporting one dependent, a girl who is an orphan.

Sabina has been running a cereals business since 1995, purchasing and selling cereals. She works at the business for 9-12 hours per day, 6 days per week and currently earns about $90 a month from her business. She is requesting a loan in order to purchase more cereals in bulk for her business. In the future, she plans to expand her business. Sabina thanks you for your support!

ABOUT SELFINA:
SELFINA has taken a lead role as a pioneer of micro-credit in Tanzania through Micro-Leasing. The organization is engaged in the economic empowerment of women in Tanzania through the provision of a leasing and leaseback microfinance facility. Customs and traditions in Tanzania make it difficult for women to own land and assets, thus they are termed non-creditworthy by financial institutions. This leads to poor financial support and poor access to basic needs and services for women with low incomes. One of the primary advantages of micro leasing is that is allows clients to use the equipment as collateral for future loans with SELFINA, thus enabling them to borrow larger sums in the future.
