Abdul Karim is fifty years old and married with four children. Since getting a salaried job is difficult in the post civil war country Sierra Leone, Abdul decided to run his own small business to generate income for the family. He owns a small general shop in the town of Mogburaka in Sierra Leone. With his first loan with SMT, he was able to expand his business. He is dedicated to expanding his business further and provide for his children needs.

Abdul Karim praises Kiva for unexpected assistance done to him and the family. Abdul said, “my children can now dress smartly at school and have shoes. “Before the loan, I was ashamed to see my children going to school with old uniforms” “ The Kiva loan has lifted the shame off me” Karim lamented. Karim’s business has increased and so has his profit. He is determined to be a client in good standing and would like to continue accessing loans from Kiva
