Dama Kalume is a 47-year-old married mother of two. She lives with her family in Mariakani, Coast Province. At the centre of Mariakani Market, Dama operates a fish-selling stand. She has been in this business for the last 12 years and she mainly deals in small dried fish.



This loan will be Dama's second one from KADET. With the money from this loan, she plans to purchase five bags of small dried fish to resell. People in Dama's area eat the small fish as a staple food, which makes the fish very marketable.



In future, Dama hopes to become a major supplier of dried fish and also wants to start selling bigger, fresh fish as they are also gaining popularity in the area.
