Adding to basket
Mme. Colette is a client of Hekima IMF and presides over the group villageoise "Mwenda". She is married, 49 years old, and the mother of 7 children, all of whom go to school. Her spouse is a doctor.
Mme. Colette sells local drinks. She began this business 17 years ago with start-up funds from her husband. Later, she joined the Hekima program to support her business. Throughout her involvement, her business has grown steadily. With this new loan, she will stock up on wood, corn and cassava flour, charcoal, and mustard, which will add to her working capital. The challenge of her business is tied to a lack of customers and unpaid debts.
She would like her children to continue their studies and to feed her family. Finally, she wishes to thank Hekima and its partners for the support brought to the owners of non-bankable businesses in this context of global crisis tied to COVID-19. The photo is of only the leader of the group due to COVID-19, out of respect for social distancing measures.
