Haoua's story

Haoua is the mother of five children of whom three are attending school. She is a businesswoman, and she buys grains to stock up for reselling at the right time at the market in the capital and at surrounding markets. She has been in this business for over 15 years.

She has paid back her second Kiva loan without a problem and has requested a loan to purchase 30 sacks of shea kernels to stock up and resell to her customers.

She is planning to use her earnings for her business and for savings, so as to better her families living conditions. She urges everybody to guard against the COVID-19 virus.
