A loan of $550 helps to buy threads and tailoring material for her stitching business.

Nasreen's story
Nasreen, a 41-year-old mother of two, runs a home-based stitching business to support her family. Limited finances previously restricted her ability to purchase quality fabrics and improve her equipment. With the help of a CEIP microfinance loan, she upgraded her materials and expanded her work, allowing her to take on more orders and increase her income.
Nasreen now manages household expenses more comfortably and supports her children’s education. Her journey reflects the positive impact of microfinance in strengthening family livelihoods.
