Gorret Kibalama`s Group

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to the Gorret Kibalama`s Group group, consisting of Gorrett Kibalama, Berna Kasoma, Justine Kiiza, Rose Nanfuka by Micro Credit Development Trust SACCO in Uganda. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 6 months, Micro Credit Development Trust SACCO will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

A loan officer met with Gorret Kibalama last week and found out she is doing well, helping to support her family of six children, and ensuring all children are being educated.

Gorret says her business is doing well which is probably due to her work ethic; Gorret gets only 4-5 hours of sleep a night as she is committed to her work and her family. In her shop, she sees 2-3 customers a day, all of which are women. She goes by matatu (a shared van) into Kampala to get her supplies and makes the clothes in her shop in Rubaga Road a Mengo.

With her loans, Gorret can now buy food for her family and help her husband pay for school fees. In addition, Gorret has expanded her business so that she now has people that sell her clothes for her in the markets. Her favorite part of her business is designing the clothes for women and with the revenue from her business Gorret hopes to one day be able to buy a plot of land, build a house and own a cow. Gorret is thankful for the support of Kiva lenders!
