Jenesta Baigana

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to Jenesta Baigana by Sero Lease and Finance Ltd. (SELFINA) in Tanzania. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 10 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 Jenesta Baigana, a SELFINA client and micro-entrepreneur. The purpose of this journal is to update you on Jenesta and the status of her business.

As you know, your generosity helped Jenesta obtain a loan of $ 525 in March 2008. She is running a portly business and used the loan to purchase chicks

She works at her business every day. She is assisted by one employee at her business. Since she took out the loan, her business has been doing well and Jenesta’s monthly profits have increased from about $150 to approximately $250. She has used these extra profits to repay her loan, pay water and electricity 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 four children. SELFINA aims to continue to assist Jenesta and other women like her, and empower them towards financial security and increased confidence through micro loans. Thank you very much for supporting Jenesta! To continue to support women like her and lend to SELFINA borrowers, please click here:
