Edith's story
Edith is 48 years old and lives in the town of Kiyinda in the Central region of Uganda. She is married and has 5 children who are all currently in school.
For the past 6 years, Edith has been working hard to manage her pub business, which variety of liquor beverages. To help expand her business, Edith has requested a loan of 2,000,000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to buy more liquor and soft drinks to sell, and will help Edith to generate greater profits and invest more in her business and buy food for her family.
Edith hopes that in the future she will be able to educate all their three remaining kids up to university.
She is a member of BRAC's microfinance program, which primarily serves small-group members like her who do not have collateral for commercial loans but have businesses that have grown and qualify for microloans.
