Bean's story
Bean is 56 years old and is a married woman with two children. She and her husband craft baskets to sell. Her children are construction workers.
Bean has been making and selling baskets for four years. Low prices from wholesalers and more competitors are her major challenges.
She will use this loan to purchase more rattan and tropical fruit trees to make baskets to sell in the market. By making and selling the baskets, she can earn enough money to improve her business and change her family's living standards. She hopes she can renovate her house and expand her current business in the future.
