Prossy is the leader of 4 members of a group. She is a 50-year-old divorced woman with 2 children, aged 17 and 15. Both her children go to school. She resides in and rents a one-room house, where she is staying with 3 people. Prossy takes care of her old mother. They do have electricity but no piped water at home. The family gets 3 meals a day.

She resides and works in a semi-urban area that is on the outskirts of Kampala. Prossy sells secondhand clothes in Owino market, one of the busiest markets in Kampala. On average she can sell to 10 people a day. Prossy has been in this business for 5 years and works 7 days a week. Formerly Prossy was operating a restaurant at her residence. Her major challenges are the rainy season, seasonality, and business taxes, and feeding the family is at times difficult.


Prossy has been with MCDT for 4 years and is servicing her seventh loan. She is aspiring to see her business expand so that she can start selling wholesale.
