Bekita Juliet is the leader of her lending group in Ntungamo. She is 58 years old and a widow with 6 children between the ages of 20 and 14. She is also the caretaker for two of her grandparents.

Bekita has been operating a bar, a hotel and a retail shop in the Itojo trading center for 23 years now. Although she makes 130,000 Ugandan shillings in profits per week, the combination of her debt and overhead costs are still more than her income, which forces her to continue to borrow from Pearl microfinance.



Juliet has a dream of expanding her businesses in order to put her children through school. She needs a loan to purchase inventory: crates of beverages.
