Esther Abakah travels to a distant town to buy food supplies like maize in large quantities, which she then sells to her customers in smaller quantities. She is divorced and has 2 children. Business is going very well but the cost of transportation is a major problem.



Esther is asking for a loan to reduce the burden of transportation cost on her limited capital, allowing her to buy more food supplies per trip.



Important Information About This Loan
Please note that Kiva considers loans to this Field Partner, CRAN, to be particularly HIGH RISK. This organization has had very serious delinquency problems brought about by problems with its credit methodology, local environmental shocks including a depletion of local fisheries in its core area of operation (Cape Coast and the Central Province), and insufficient follow up with late clients. Lenders to this business should be aware that there is an increased risk of not getting repaid on this loan due to the challenges facing the Field Partner.
