A loan helped to buy a refrigerator, 35 packages of water, 2 bags of beans, 15 jugs of oil, 5 bags of flour, and 3 packages of plastic baggies, and to save for her children's future.


Noelie's story

Noelie is a mother of 4 children ranging in age from 1 to 12 years, with 2 in school. She has been a trader in a local market for 12 years, and she sells water, fried potatoes, and cakes.

She is on her sixth loan with Yikri, and she is requesting this loan to buy a refrigerator, 35 packages of water, 2 bags of beans, 15 jugs of oil, 5 bags of flour, and 3 packages of plastic baggies so she can fry soybeans, cakes, and potatoes to meet her customers' demands.

Noelie will reinvest part of her earnings in her business and save part for her children's future.
