Pamela Nansubuga `s Group

Nansubuga Pamela is a 27-year-old married mother of two children, a three-year-old and a 9-month-old. She lives and works in Mpererwe, a neighborhood near the outskirts of Kampala. She has a shop called Amoti’s Cosmetics where she sells hair relaxer, foundation, lipsticks, lotions, wigs and other beauty products. She travels to downtown Kampala to get the products she sells in her shop and works seven days a week. The weekends are her busiest time. To get to work requires her to take two minibus taxis, and she finds transportation a challenge.
Although she had worked in cosmetics for a while, it was only after she got her first loan from MCDT in 2004 that she was encouraged to start her own business. Since then, she has had six loans and reports that she has been able to develop her business solely because of the capital that they provide. Currently, she rents the space that she is using and her goal is to buy a plot of land to build a business near her home.



About Group Loans
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a group of individuals bound by a group guarantee. Under this arrangement, each member of the group supports one another and is responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members if someone is delinquent or defaults. Learn more
