Thirty-four-year-old Abena Boakyewaa is the mother of one girl and two boys, two in school and one yet too young to attend. She lives with the family in a rented apartment in Koforidua, a farming and commercial town not far from Offinso in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.



Trading in bananas and oranges for the past eight years, Abena works very hard to support her husband in taking care of the family. She buys bags of oranges and unripe bananas from farmers in the nearby villages, stores the bananas to ripen and then sells to retailers in the local market. It has been her dreams to save enough money to support her children in school, so she is requesting a loan to procure bananas and oranges in bulk in order to increase her profit margin.
