Balwa Aisha, 49, is the leader of her lending group in Lugazi. She received a loan previously that she used so well and now needs another. She is a businesswoman with a restaurant that she has owned for a long time.

Aisha is a widow with five children aged 13 to 30 years and she also takes care of six dependents. She is grateful that at least she does not have to pay fees for her primary-school-going children but pays for those in higher institutions.

Aisha’s business is doing well because of the way she handles her customers and this has even won her more customers. She still has a dream of building her own house that can accommodate her restaurant. She needs a loan to help buy more foodstuffs for her restaurant.
