Benna Akiya is 34 years old and a mother of one child who is aged 8. She supports two dependants aged 6 and 9 years respectively. She has a business of selling beer and local brew, and has been in this business for over 10 years in Luwayo. Her loans have been helping her so much with her business and now this one will help her acquire raw materials like sim sim and bananas for her local brew business. Her biggest challenge is the seasonality of her business, but because of the experience she has, she has been able to retain her customers throughout the season.

Entrepreneur: Benna Akiya Group
Location: Lugazi, Uganda

Akiya Benna is a bar owner where by she sells beers, wines and local brew. She has a large customer base that usually consume like two jerry cans of 20 litres containing local brew in just 2 days. Local brew is a strong sale in Benna’s locality especially in the afternoons and evenings after work. It is hard to find Benna out of stock of the drinks because she has the money to stock more drinks and the profits make the business continuous hence making more money throughout the loan cycle.
