Vailet Msemwa

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to Vailet Msemwa by Sero Lease and Finance Ltd. (SELFINA) in Tanzania. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 12 months, Sero Lease and Finance Ltd. (SELFINA) will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

Dear lenders,

Mambo (Greetings!) from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and from SELFINA! Thank you for your loan through Kiva to Vailet Msemwa, a SELFINA client and micro-entrepreneur. The purpose of this journal is to update you on Vailet and the status of her business.

As you know, your generosity helped Vailet obtain a loan of $900.00 in Jan 2008. She is running a general store and used the loan to purchase additional stocks in bulk. She works at her business for 8-10 hours per day, six days per week. Since she took out the loan, her business has been doing well and Vailet monthly profits have increased from 120 to 220 usd. She has used these extra profits to buy food for her family and pay bills.

In the future, she is planning to open another business. On the personal front, her family is doing well. As you may remember, she is married and has five children. SELFINA aims to continue to assist Vailet and other women like her, and empower them towards financial security and increased confidence through microloans. Thank you very much for supporting Vailet!
