Alimatu

Alimatu is a 32-year-old entrepreneur who lives with her mother in Savelugu Municipal district in Ghana. With her previous Kiva loan, she expanded her business and used the profits to support her family. Alimatu is requesting another loan to buy a variety of fabrics and veils to sell. She plans to reinvest her profits in her business. She will repay the 'social interest' on her second loan by volunteering two-and-a-half hours per week as a CAMFED Learner Guide, facilitating classes from CAMFED’s ‘My Better World’ program with students at her local secondary school, helping to build their self-esteem and motivating them to remain in school.
