Important Information About This Loan
Please note that Kiva considers loans to this Field Partner, CRAN, to be particularly HIGH RISK. This organization has had very serious delinquency problems brought about by problems with its credit methodology, local environmental shocks including a depletion of local fisheries in its core area of operation (Cape Coast and the Central Province), and insufficient follow up with late clients. Lenders to this business should be aware that there is an increased risk of not getting repaid on this loan due to the challenges facing the Field Partner.

Jamila is a married woman of 36 with three children. She runs a provisions store, which she started with $150 of capital. She used her loan to purchase more provisions including milk, tinned fish, sugar, rice, and milo. Although Jamila doesn’t keep track of her profit, her savings have increased to five cedis ($5) daily, or approximately 140 cedis per month, since she took out the loan. Jamila now has a traditional susu savings account with CRAN.

Jamila is very grateful for the loan. She says that it enabled to take better care of her children, purchase items she couldn’t afford previously, and expand her business. The loan reduced the financial pressure in her house and also enabled her to purchase more food for her family.
