Margaret Ogamo Adhiambo is 45 years old. She is widowed with five children and only one of them has finished school. She is a teacher and also does business on the side running a stall selling used clothes in the vast Kongowea market. The combined income from her two jobs barely covers her family needs. Margaret has to pay a lot in terms of school fees for her children: one in university, one in college while another is waiting to join college. Her daughter is training in hair and beauty therapy.


Margaret's main challenge is to increase her clothes sales since she already has a big client base. She would like to stock more but she lacks funds. She is requesting a US$600 loan which she will use to buy extra bales of shirts. This should bring in more sales, more profit and ease the school fees financial strain on Margaret. She is focused and will repay the loan.

Disclaimer: Due to recent events in Kenya, the security situation in many communities remains unsettled, affecting many local businesses. Lenders to this entrepreneur should be aware that this loan may represent a higher default risk, and should be willing to accept this additional risk in making their loan.

Default of Your Loan to an Entrepreneur with Ebony Foundation
 
Entrepreneur: Margaret Ogamo Adhiambo
Location: Mombasa, Kenya

After continuing non-payment to Kiva, all active Ebony Foundation loans have now been defaulted. Kiva will continue to pursue recovery of funds on these loans and apply funds proportionally to lenders if and as funds are received. However, Kiva staff have judged the likelihood of recovery on these loans to be sufficiently low such as to update the loan status of these loans to “defaulted”.



For further details on this default, please see Ebony Foundation’s Field Partner page
