Allah is God, led by Mossiame Dorley, is a group of five borrowers living in Kolahu, Lofa County, Liberia.

Mossiame is 45 years old and is married with five children age 17 to 25. Her youngest is in school but Mossiame was unable to attend school herself because, although she enjoyed it, the cultural norm was for girls to rely on their husbands to provide, and therefore school was considered unnecessary. She lives in the remote city of Kolahu in rural Lofa County, the breadbasket of Liberia.

Mossiame’s business is retail fish which she buys wholesale locally and from nearby Guinea and sells in a market stall in the central Kolahu market. She has run her business for ten years and is successful because of the way she treats her customers.

Mossiame is taking the loan to increase her inventory to meet increased demand. Her dream is to grow her business so she can one day have the biggest table in the central market. With the profits from her business she dreams of sending her youngest to university.
