Kafe Semiria Group

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to the Kafe Semiria group, consisting of Amidu Conteh, Sheika Conteh, Makapr Conteh, M'mah Conteh by Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT), a partner of Christian Children's Fund in Sierra Leone. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 7 months, Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT), a partner of Christian Children's Fund will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

I recently paid a visit to Amidu Conteh (second from right), leader of the Kafe Semiria Group, in his stall at the centre of Magburaka town to get a journal update about his business. As you may already know, Amidu sells clothes right at the centre of town. With the loan he received from you, Amidu was able to increase his stock of goods. He bought two bales of second hand clothes to add to his older stock. This made his sales to increase and consequently the profit he makes. Business is going on fine for Amidu and he enjoys doing it. Amidu depends on this business alone for his survival. From the profit he makes, he is able to make his monthly repayments, feed his family and send the children to school. Amidu sends a lot of thanks to you and he hopes that you will continue giving him your support.
