A loan helped a member to buy 2 bags of beans which will strengthen their initial capital.


Croissance Sg Group's story

Nyiranzanira is a client of the microfinance institution Hekima and represents the village group "Croissance SG". She is 36 years old, married and has six children. Four of them go to school. Her husband is a trader.

Nyiranzanira started selling beans 8 years ago with starting funds received from her husband. Later, she joined the Hekima program to support her business and it grew progressively. With this new loan, she is going to buy 2 bags of beans, which is going to strengthen her initial capital. The challenge of her activity is due to a lack of customers.

Nyiranzanira would like to keep her children in school and to be able to feed her family. Finally, she wants to thank Hekima and its partners for their support of non bankable business owners in the context of the global health crisis.

This loan is special because:
