Akosua Gyamfuaa

Akosua is 37 and has been operating a grocery shop for the past 20 years. She is married with a single child, who is currently in school. Her experience in trading has made her one of the most successful traders. She sells items like rice, sugar, vegetable oil, bottled water, body and hair creams, skimmed powdered milk, etc. She deems it a big opportunity to expand her business to include other items frequently demanded by customers. She wants to use the loan to buy more bags of rice, bags of sugar, cartons of vegetable oil, boxes of body and hair creams, etc to increase her stock of goods available for sale. Akosua belongs to the community group called Blessing Trust Group. In this group, members guarantee for one another as a form of social collateral to access loans and provide peer pressure to repay the loans. Akosua's photograph was taken during her group meeting. She is the one in green apparel.
