Hello Lenders of MADAM Group,

I made several visits to MADAM in order to have a talk with the Director (Leader of this group) about his Kiva loan, but he was either out of the town or busy with guests. Alternatively, I decided to talk with John S. Koroma the Program’s Officer.

John received a loan of Le 2,000,000 from you. With this loan, he bought house building materials – fifty bags of cements, sand, iron robs, five bundles of corrugated iron zincs, boards and paid workmanship. With your loan’s help, John has almost completed building his house. He now has only to paint the outside of the house. He expects occupying his new home come April of this year, he told me.

This house consists of three bed rooms, one parlor, a toilet, a store and a dinning room. Without the help of your loan, it will have taken donkey’s years for Mr. John to be able to complete building his house. Since salaries are very small and there are other financial commitments to meet, he should have found it very hard or even impossible to use such a meager salary in building his house. But with the loan, he was able to do so with ease.

John, on behalf of MADAM asked me to convey his appreciation and gratitude to you for the loan given to them. Talking as a program’s officer, he will like to see you extending your support to grass-root people in the remote villages of Sierra Leone where they (MADMA) operate.

This new picture of John was taken inside of his office. I hope you enjoyed your journal update. Thanks for lending to SMT clients, please keep lending to our clients.
