Essau

Essau, a 48-year-old resident of Ogwedhi, is married to Pamella, who also contributes to the family income, and together they support two children. He has been running a jaggery production business for 7 years and currently earns about KES. 40,000 monthly from sales. Essau has applied for a loan of KES. 70,000 to purchase a jaggery crusher that will enable him to produce more jaggeries for sale to sweet-making industries. The anticipated profit will help him meet his family’s basic needs, and his long-term dream is to establish a sweet-making factory.
