For the past 8 years, Rossette has been working hard to manage her retail shop, which sells Household supplies like rice, pasta, snacks, and cooking oils. To help expand her business, Rossette has requested a loan of 4,000,000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to purchase for more Household supplies like rice, pasta, snacks, cooking oils, salad dressings, sauces, spreads, herbs, spices, seasonings, breakfast cereals, jam, honey, and sugar, and salt for sale, and will help Rosette to generate greater profits.

Rosette hopes that in the future she will be able to expand her business more to a bigger wholesaler, and increase her savings. 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.
