Sophia, age 28, is married with 2 children (ages 6 and 10). She owns a small cafe where she sells breakfast and lunch foods and snacks from 5am to 6pm daily. She opened this business in 2005 and now makes a monthly profit of about $55 from it.


In the past, Sophia took out a loan from BRAC Tanzania to buy food stock for her cafe. Having paid this back successfully, she now hopes for a new loan for the same purpose. She will share this loan with her subgroup, who have businesses dealing in sales of timber, food, and drinks.
