Elizabeth, age 58, is divorced with three children, ages 39, 28, and 18. She runs a nursery school and also tutors preschool-aged children on the side. She started her school in 1995 and it brings her a salary of about $230 a month. The school is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.

Elizabeth has taken three previous loans from Tujijenge Tanzania, and she now hopes for a new loan to improve the quality of her school. She will share this loan with her subgroup, whose members have clothing and general item businesses.

In the picture, Elizabeth is the furthest on the right.

Elizabeth Understands the Importance of Education! Entrepreneur: Elizabeth's Songambele Ukonga A Group Location: Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania Greetings from Tanzania! Thank you for supporting Elizabeth Masumba and subgroup A of the Songambele Ukonga group. Elizabeth used the loan she received from Tujijenge Tanzania to improve her nursery school. She purchased a blackboard, textbooks and exercise books. Although her monthly profit did not increase, she is providing an extremely valuable service to the children of Tanzania. She is very warm-hearted, and I am sure her profits will increase as more children attend her school. Elizabeth and her subgroup are very grateful for the loan and are thankful to everyone who has supported them.
