Helena is doing great! Entrepreneur: Ruziki Kigogo Group Location: Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania Greetings from Tanzania! Thank you for supporting Helena Stephen and the Ruziki group. I am happy to report she is doing extremely well! With the loan she relived she increased on her table top business and made enough bricks ready for starting building her house. As a result, her monthly profit rose to $80! Helena uses the additional profits to cover household expenses and to buy more fabrics.
