Carol

Carol is 36 years old and a single mother of two children. She works hard to support her family and also assists her relatives whenever they are in need. She sells second-hand clothes (mitumba), a business that she enjoys because it allows her to meet customer needs and earn profits that help support her family. The funds will be used to add more clothes to her business to meet customer demand and increase her sales. The main challenge she faces is inadequate working capital, which makes it difficult to purchase enough stock, especially when customer needs vary depending on the season. The profits she earns will be used to reinvest in the business, support her family, and repay the loan on time. She usually supplies readily available and affordable clothes to the local community. She also supports local suppliers by buying bales of clothes from wholesalers. She has employed one person who helps her with daily business operations. She dreams of growing her business to greater limits so that her children may inherit the legacy she created and provide them with better education. She is thankful for your support.
