Ufundi Group

Ursule is a client of the Hekima Microfinance Institution and head of the village group Ufundi. She is married, aged 42 years and the mother of 10 children who are all at school. Her husband is a shopkeeper.

She trades in various food items. She started this business 11 years ago with the startup funding from her livestock raising business. Later, she joined the Hekima programme to support her business and during this time she progressively evolved.

With this new loan she will buy supplies of 5 cans of oil, 20 bags of flour, 8 boxes of soap, which will strengthen her initial capital. Her business has no problems.

She would like to buy a house. Finally, she wishes to thank Hekima and its partners for the support they bring to the owners of businesses that are not making money during the context of the global crisis linked to covid-19.
