A loan helped a member to stock up on one bale of secondhand goods, which will reinforce her initial capital.


Atubariki Group's story

Sylvine is a client of Hekima IMF and chairs the “ATUBARIKI” village group. She is divorced, 33 years old, and the mother of 3 children, all of whom are in school.
She sells secondhand goods; she started this business 3 years ago with start-up funds received from the Hekima program to support her business, which has gradually evolved.
With this new loan, she will purchase 1 bale of secondhand goods, which will strengthen her initial capital. Her business faces challenges due to the lack of customers.
She would like her children to continue studying and she would like to develop her business. Finally, she would like to thank Hekima and its partners for the support provided to non-monetizable business owners in this context of global crisis linked to COVID-19.
