Sanyu's group is comprised of 2 hard-working women. Sanyu is 22 years old and lives in the town of Kabuusu in the Makindye region of Uganda. She has 2 children with one of them currently in school. For the past 2 years, Sanyu has been working hard to manage her restaurant, which sells fast foods.
To help expand her business, Sanyu has requested a share of 900,000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to purchase more charcoal and cooking oil, and will help Sanyu to generate greater profits and have a bigger customer base. This will mean she will be in position to support her children and even take them to school.
Sanyu hopes that in the future she will be able to buy a plot of land and build a home.
Sanyu is a member of BRAC's Empowerment and Livelihood for Adolescents (ELA) program. In addition to microfinance loans, the program provides both a safe place for young Ugandan women to take part in group activities, and a forum for life-skills training.
In this group: Sanyu, Milly
