Samira group after the loan
 
Entrepreneur: Nafesa Group
Location: Kabul, Afghanistan

Sameira group used their kiva loan for progress of their business and to make it larger. Sameira and Marsal’s brothers could buy needed materials for their business. They could add more fresh vegetables in their shop which were cleaned and packaged by sameira and Marsal. Fardows and Saheyla could buy needed things for their bakery and now they are glad that has good monthly income and Yalda who has received the loan for general store could buy all the things which were necessary in the shop and were in demand a lot in the market to progress. Now she says that the number of clients is more than before and she is really happy about it.

They all would like to say that kiva is an effective process which can support the entrepreneurs in Afghanistan.
