Mary is a leader of 5 members of a group. She is a 44-year-old married woman with 4 children, aged between 20 and 5. All of her children go to school. She resides in and owns a 2-room house, where she is staying with 4 of her husband's children. There are 6 people who live there.


The family gets 3 meals a day. She resides and works in a semi-urban area which is on the outskirts of Kampala. Mary works in Owino market, one of the city suburbs, and deals in second-hand clothes. She sells to an average of 10 people a day and works 6 days a week. Mary's monthly expenses include school fees and rent. She has been in this business for 6 years. She used to operate a beauty salon but had to change to second-hand clothes due to the high demand for them and their profitability.


Mary's main challenges are seasonality and the rainy season, which makes storage facilities difficult. She has been with MCDT for 6 years and is servicing her eleventh loan, working all this long time with the same group mates. She wants to use this loan to increase stock in her business.
