A loan helped to buy jars, containers and honey to save and to take care of the future of her children.


Awa's story

Awa is the mother of five children, of which three attend school. She also takes care of four other people.

Awa sells herbal tea in a market in the capital. She has been running this business for 10 years. It is her fifth credit with YIKRI and she has repaid her Kiva loan. She has applied for a new credit to buy jars, containers and honey to meet the demand of her customers.

She plans on reinvesting her profits in her business and saving to take care of the future of her children. She invites everyone to protect themselves against the Covid-19 virus.

Translated from French by Kiva volunteer Remi Gauthier.
