Ahmed is very grateful to Kiva for the last loan or $1200. He said that the loan has lifted him from poverty. Ahmed increased his inventory and diversified his business. He purchased palm oil and exported it to Guinea. With the income, he purchased a motor bike to provide transport services to the public, and he earns a net profit of $200 per month from the motor bike business. Ahmed also repaired his house and managed to send one of his children to college. He is very thankful to Kiva and would like to take more loans to continue expanding his business. He said that Le. 3,426,000 will help him achieve his goal.
