Augustina is a 72-year-old widow with six children and twenty grandchildren. She has been selling onions, salt, and garden eggs for the past twenty years. Due to her age, she has to rely on other traders to buy and sell her products in bulk to customers; even so, she still sells some of her products on her own on a table-top in the local market to maintain her physical strength.


Augustina is seeking a loan to buy more bags of onions, sacks of salt, and garden eggs.


She is a member of the group called “Sunkwa” (meaning, "think of Life"). Group members agree in principle to guarantee each other as social collateral to repay their respective loans.
