Junior's story
Junior is 56 years old and lives in the town of Mityana in the Mityana region of Uganda. She is married and has 5 children with none of them currently in school. For the past 8 years, Junior has been working hard to manage her bar business, which sells liquor.
To help expand her business, Junior has requested a loan of 1400000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to buy more beer and soft drinks for resale, and will help Junior to generate greater profits to take good care of her children and provide enough food for her family.
Junior hopes that in the future she will be able to buy land of her own.Junior is a member of BRAC's microfinance program (MF).
