These soldiers working in Makeni are Sheika Buckarie, Adama Momoh, Gbassay Koroma, and Victor Massaboi. They are requesting a loan of Le 3,5000,000. This is their first loan from SMT. With this loan, they'll be able to engage in either agriculture or in a business that will earn them some money to complement their salaries.


Sheika Buckarie, the leader of this group, would like to give his wife the loan so she can start selling cosmetics. This was a long-held dream of theirs, but Sheika's salary was too small to enable his wife to start a business, considering their numerous other needs. With a loan from SMT, Sheika can now give his wife the required capital she needs to start a small business. Sheika is 36, and he was born in Kailahun in eastern Sierra Leone. He is married with 2 children.
