Nandutu Jennifer is a 28-year-old hard-working young lady and mother of three. For eight years now, she sells all types of fresh fruits and produce such as yellow bananas, mangos, paw paws, pineapples, apples, oranges, pears, passion fruit, and Matooke that she sells to her customers in Kamwokya. She started very small with a few pieces of fruit for sale but now sells a variety, including matooke (green bananas). This has greatly increased her sales, hence more profit. She needs another loan to be able to buy more fruits and sacks and bunches of matooke for sale to her ever-expanding customer base. The benefits that have come from getting loans from Pearl Microfinance range from her family’s upkeep, community socialization, children’s welfare plus business development, expansion and continuity.

Journal
 
Entrepreneur: Tuwoda Women's Group
Location: Kamwokya, Uganda

Nandutu Jennifer says that the loans help her business continuity in a way that once she gets a loan, she invests in buying more fruits and vegetables for sale and the profits she makes out of it help to keep her business moving mostly in times when she is repaying back her loan. With the profits, she can be able to look after her children and pay their school fees; and as the trend has been continuing, she has been able to buy a plot of land that awaits construction once she gets some money for the building. She is happy that she is getting these loans today and that some one is willing to give out the loan.
