Buta started her business with an initial loan that she took with the microfinance institution Hekima, and she has concluded five loan cycles within Hekima's microcredit program. She will use this new loan to buy two bags of cassava flour, 50 kg of maize flour, 50 kg of rice etc. She also hopes to see her children grow, and she wants to expand her business.
