Greetings are coming to you from Adama Sesay. Adam is pleased to inform her Lenders that your loan to her has made a significant impact in her business and life. It enabled her improved on the quality of the soap she produces. The quantity of soap she also produces has increased tremendously. With the loan, she was able to buy 300 gallons of “natai” (the oil used in producing the soap) and five drums of soda. She also bought essential working materials like buckets, bigger tables, hand gloves etc. With the help of her apprentices and few employees, she is able to produce a large quantity of soap. Some of the soaps she supplies to market women and the other she sells herself at make-shift business centers called Lumas. Out of the proceeds she makes from her business, Adama makes her monthly repayments in time and in full. She can also feed her children and pays their school fees out of the profit she makes from this business. Adama thanks you a lot for the loan, she prays that the Lord continues to bless you and your families.
