Beth is a 50 year-old widow with five children. She has run a food kiosk in the Mathare slums of Nairobi for 18 years and previously had a grocery store. She is requesting a loan of 40,000 Kenyan shillings to buy more food and a mkokoteni (hand cart).

She says that she has been able to educate her children because loans from Faulu have allowed her to expand her business. She hopes to one day buy land and a pickup truck for the business and make a better life for her family away from the slums. She describes herself as hopeful and a very hardworking and visionary client.
