Unexpectedly starting a new life and a new business: Elisabeth is one of many refugee entrepreneurs betting on herself
Elisabeth is an entrepreneur in Rwanda who owns her own food shop. She and her children are refugees, originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). They fled their homes due to violence. In Nyabiheke Camp in Rwanda, Elisabeth started selling food like tomatoes in the market. Later, with a Kiva loan through lending partner Inkomoko, she was able to bring her shop into her home, saving time and growing her business.
