Rukaya's story
Rukaya, a 42-year-old mother of two, runs a home-based sewing business to support her family. Limited finances previously made it difficult for her to buy quality fabrics and tools.
With a CEIP microfinance loan, Rukaya 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.
Rukaya’s story shows how microfinance empowers women and strengthens family livelihoods.
