Important Information About This Loan
Please note that Kiva considers loans to this Field Partner, CRAN, to be particularly HIGH RISK. This organization has had very serious delinquency problems brought about by problems with its credit methodology, local environmental shocks including a depletion of local fisheries in its core area of operation (Cape Coast and the Central Province), and insufficient follow up with late clients. Lenders to this business should be aware that there is an increased risk of not getting repaid on this loan due to the challenges facing the Field Partner.

Journal Update
 
Entrepreneur: Francis Kwabena Arthur
Location: Cape Coast, Ghana

Francis used his loan to buy more wood for furniture making. Despite rising wood prices, he is still able to repay his loan. He is planning on saving some money in case he ever has trouble repaying one week in the future. He is very hard working, and his furniture is very nice. He is excited to take out another loan when he has finished repaying this one.
