A loan helped to buy kilos of fresh fish to resell on the market.


Sitraka's story

Sitraka is a 29-year-old mother. She is separated and raises her two children alone. She is active and a fighter, who cares a lot about the well-being of her children.

Sitraka lives in her own house in a neighbourhood on the outskirts of town. She is a trader. She has been selling fresh fish for more than five years. In addition, she also sells cheese.

Sitraka wants to strengthen the sale of fish. She therefore decided to take out a loan to increase her financial capital. With this approach, she will not only be able to expand her business but also improve her income.

To do this, she requires the support of lenders to buy kilos of fresh fish to put back on the market. Sitraka delivers her products in the big city, and she also has a point of sale not far from her home.

She intends to save her profits in order to ensure the future of her children.
