Abena Fosua is 24 years old. She is a wife and the mother of one kid who is now schooling. She loves selling goods, the business through which she obtains her daily source of livelihood. She has been selling yams for the past seven years to support her family. Yams are one of the favorite staple foods that supply carbohydrate components in diets.



Abena takes delivery from farmers who provide her with a direct supply. This enables her to avoid middlemen who buy from the farmers and re-sell to her at higher prices. With this loan, she wants to buy yams in bulk to better serve her customers. She hopes to use part of her profit to support her kid in school. Abena is a member of a community group called Dorcas Trust Group. In this group, members guarantee and support one another to repay their loans.
