Ruth is a 49-year-old trader. She is married with three children, two of whom are currently in school while her last-born is still breastfeeding.

Ruth trades in Dumas (a brand name) clothes, linen and lace materials and has been in this business for the last ten years. Her major challenge over the years has been obtaining funds to scale up her business. She has amassed lots of marketing experience and she is very confident that the loan will enable her to make remarkable business progress.

Ruth wants to use the loan to buy more bales of Dumas clothes, linen and lace materials with variety to increase her inventory. She says her greatest joy would be when she is able to provide her kids with a quality education to make them more resourceful in future. She hopes to save enough to fulfill this dream of hers.
