This is Aminata Mansaray and Unisa Kargbo. Aminata (on the left) is the leader of this group. Aminata sells market food and has been in this business for 22 years now. She was born in Makeni. She is age 39, married to a diamond miner and they have two children. One of their children is now in Senior Secondary School I (SSS I) and the other is in class six.


This group is called Mansaray Group, named after the group leader. The members are small-scale businesspeople based in Makeni city. Business has been growing at a very slow pace for these entrepreneurs due to lack of sufficient capital. Therefore, they came to SMT/Kiva seeking a loan of Le 500,000 each to help them expand their business.
