Pastef Group's story
Fana is the president of the group "Pastef," which means "be virtuous" in English. She is a 30-year-old storekeeper. She is holding a bowl of cashews and raising her right hand, and she is married to a farmer. She is the mother of two children aged 8 and 10 who are in school.
Fana is a creditworthy client at VFS and has been running her activity for 4 years. With this loan, she plans to purchase goods (cashews, various items, etc.) to strengthen her activity and increase her income.
She buys her supplies at the weekly markets in her locality and sells them in her neighborhood and the surrounding areas.
The income she earns enables her to provide for her family's needs in the following areas: health, food, education, hygiene, etc.
Among the difficulties she faces are fierce competition, inflation, and high transportation costs.
Fana would like to have a place in the market and expand her activity nationwide.
