Leonard is married with three children. He lives in Kiwalani area in Dar es Salaam. He sells vegetable and fruits near his residence. He buys fresh produce from nearby villages for resale. The business has been his main source of livelihood for the past ten years. He has had difficulty growing the business because he has to balance the business and his family obligations. If his business is expanded, he will be able to meet the challenge of paying school fees for his child who is expected to start secondary education. The business provides a source of employment for her wife too.



The proposed loan will help Leonard expand his business through adding up new products, like rice, beans, maize flour, millet, sorghum, groundnuts and the like. The amount needed to expand his business is USD 1000.
