Augustina is 42 years old. She is married and blessed with five children. She is resourceful and enterprising. She has supported two children to graduate from high school through her business.



Augustina operates a small restaurant and sells local foods like "fufu" and "banku". Fufu is prepared from pounded cassava and plantain, eaten with soup. Banku is prepared from milled maize grains and it is eaten with hot pepper or soup. She says prices of raw materials have gone up significantly and she is no longer able to meet her production expenditure. She needs this loan to enable her to inject additional capital into the business to scale up production and maintain quality.



Augustina wants to use this loan to buy more raw materials like bags of maize, baskets of cassava, plantains, meat, fish, vegetables, and firewood. Augustina is a member of a group called "Adekyensroma" Trust Group. In this group, members guarantee the loan and provide support to one another in repaying the loan.
