Abida's story
Abida, 35 and mother of two, runs a home-based sewing business to support her family. Limited finances made it difficult for her to buy quality fabrics and tools.
With a CEIP microfinance loan, Abida upgraded her materials and equipment, allowing her to take on more orders and improve her work quality. As her income grows, she can manage household expenses better and support her children’s education.
Her story shows how microfinance empowers women, strengthens livelihoods, and creates long-term financial stability.
