Adam is doing a great job!
 
Entrepreneur: Harakati Group
Location: Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

Greetings from Tanzania! Thank you for supporting Adam Ritonka and the Harakati group. I am happy to report he is doing extremely well. With the loan he received, he purchased more stock of second hand clothes. As a result, his monthly profit rose to about $200! Adam uses the additional profits to cover household expenses and to pay back the loan. Adam and the Harakati group are very grateful for the loan and are thankful to every one who has supported them.
