Farida Hamisi

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to Farida Hamisi by Sero Lease and Finance Ltd. (SELFINA) in Tanzania. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 8 months, Sero Lease and Finance Ltd. (SELFINA) will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

Dear lenders,

Mambo (Greetings!) from Da es salaam, Tanzania and from SELFINA! Thank you for your loan through Kiva to Farida Hamisi, a SELFINA client and micro-entrepreneur. The purpose of this journal is to update you on Farida and the status of her business.

As you know, your generosity helped Farida obtain a loan of $950 in Oct 2008. She is running a cosmetic sales business and used the loan to purchase additional inventory of cosmetics for her business.

She works hard at her business and no one is assisting her at her business. Since she took out the loan, her business has been doing well and Farida was able to pay bills, buy food and meet other expenses.

In the future, she is planning to expand her business, on the personal front, her family is doing well. As you may remember, she is single and has no child. SELFINA aims to continue to assist Farida and other women like her, and empower them towards financial security and increased confidence through microloans. Thank you very much for supporting Farida!
