A loan helped a member to buy two bales of used clothes, which will strengthen her initial capital.


Unissons Group's story

Madam Micheline is a client of Hekima MFI and chairs the village group “Unissons”. She is 25, married and mother of five children, including three who are in school. Her partner is a shopkeeper.
She sells used clothing, a business she started 5 years ago with her own seed money. Later she involved the Hekima program to support her business, during which time it gradually evolved.
With this new loan, she will purchase two bales of used clothes, which will strengthen her initial capital. Her business has no issues.
She would like for her children to continue studying and to feed her family. Finally, she would like to thank Hekima and its partners for the support provided to non-bankable business owners in this context of global crisis linked to Covid-19. The photo is only of the leader of the group, due to Covid-19 and in observance of social distancing measures.
