Mambo (Greetings!) from Mwanza, Tanzania and from SELFINA! Thank you for your loan through Kiva to Cleopatra Swai a SELFINA client and micro-entrepreneur. The purpose of this journal is to update you on Cleopatra and the status of her business.

As you know, your generosity helped Cleopatra obtain a loan of $400 in February 2009. She is running a shop business and used the loan to purchase shoes, shirts, trousers and suits for women.

She works hard at her business. Since she took out the loan, her business has been doing well and Cleopatra was able to pay bills, buy food for her family and to pay other expenses.

In the future, she is planning to request another loan from SELFINA with which she planed to improve her business. On the personal front, her family is doing well. As you may remember, she is married. SELFINA aims to continue to assist Cleopatra and other women like her, and empower them towards financial security and increased confidence through micro loans.
