Zikusooka Women's Group

Christine is married and has seven children, but also cares for three relatives and an orphan. She started getting loans seven years ago, and they have changed her life dramatically. She has been able to join with her husband to buy several plots of land for farming, build a small house, and make plans to complete a larger one that can accommodate everyone.

Christine says her business is doing well -- recently the lake was not in a good condition, but thank God it is now in great shape and everyone is happy. Christine dreams of one day opening up a retail shop that will sell cold drinks, soaps and cereals so that she can work in one place as she grows older and her legs become more painful. She is thankful for her husband's help in raising their children and helping them become educated. She will use her potion of the loan to buy more fishing nets to sell.



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
