A loan of $1,225 helps to buy more maize for his farm.
Brian's story
Brian is 28-years old and lives in the town of Kiyinda in the Kiyinda region of Uganda. He is married with one child who is currently in school. For the past 10 years, Brian has been working hard to manage his farm, which sells maize. To help expand his business, Brian has requested a loan of 4,500,000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to buy more maize to help him generate greater profits to educate his children.
Brian hopes that in the future he will be able to expand his business. He is a member of BRAC's microfinance program, which primarily serves small-group members like Brian who do not have the collateral for commercial loans but have businesses that have grown and qualify for microloans.
