Imad is a 38 year old man who lives in Saida, southern Lebanon with his wife and their four children. He has run a coffee shop since 2005.


Imad requests a loan of $700 from Al Majmoua to purchase merchandise for his shop like “Narguileh” and coal. Nargileh (also known as “Shisha” in Egypt) is an ancient tradition enjoyed by the people of the Middle East. A water pipe is used to smoke fruit flavored tobacco. Nargileh is enjoyed in cafes across the Middle East, and is beginning to gain popularity in the U.S, Europe and other countries.


This is the first time Imad has requested a loan. He is special in his work because his coffee shop is a nice and relaxing place. He knows how to treat his clients. When he first started his business, he didn’t have a lot of cash and didn’t have a lot of clients. Now that he is known, his coffee shop has been doing better.


Imad decided on doing this business because he always wanted to open a coffee shop and he also wanted to improve his family’s financial situation. In the future, he plans on purchasing the shop.
