Albertha Nteh is forty years old. She is married and has three children, two boys and a girl. Her oldest child is in junior high school, and the others are in primary school. Albertha lives with her family in a house in Simpa, a farming community a few kilometers from Tarkwa, in western Ghana. Her husband is a cocoa farmer.

She trades in dried tilapia and other dried fish to supplement the family income. Albertha buys fresh fish directly from the fishermen in nearby communities, salts the fish, and dries them in the sun. She sells to food vendors and retailers. She also sells from a table top in the local market. She has been in business for a long time and has a lot of experience. She hopes to increase the family income so that she and her husband can give their children the best education possible. Albertha would use the loan to buy fresh fish in bulk.
