Mkema Josephat, age 47, is married with three children ages 17, 12 and 2. He sells new clothes. He started this business in 2000 and works daily from 8am until 8pm. He is able to earn a monthly profit of around $40.

This will be Mkema's sixth loan from Tujijenge Tanzania. He used the previous loans to increase his stock of clothes and has repaid the loans successfully. He hopes this loan will increase the size of his business again.

Mkema will share this loan with his loan group, Mema, which totals 16 members. The members of the group will hold each other accountable to pay back their loans. In the picture, Mkema is 1st on the left in front.
