Mukisa Women's Group

Fatumah Basoma is one of the executive members of Mukisa women’s group in Jinja as well as one of its founding members. Fatumah is a tailor with a business of making ladies’ wear, childen's and men’s clothes of all kinds. She has been in the trade for a long time now and has gained experience for making quality products for her customers. She has two sewing machines at the moment, but has a dream of one day owning as many as ten so that she can begin a tailoring school to teach young girls, mostly orphans, the same trade as a way for them to sustain themselves in future. She is grateful for the loans because now she is able to sell some of the material she buys to her customers, unlike before when she did not have the capital to do so.



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
