A loan of $2,825 helps to buy more clothes to sell.
Prossy's story
Prossy is 39 years old and lives in the town of Kiyinda in the Kiyinda region of Uganda. She is married and has five children with four of them currently in school. For the past 10 years, Prossy has been working hard to manage her boutique, which sells clothes.
To help expand her business, Prossy has requested a loan of 10,000,000 UGX (Ugandan Shillings) from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to buy more clothes to sell. This will help Prossy generate greater profits and she will be able to educate her children.
Prossy hopes that in the future she will be able to construct rental units. She is a member of BRAC's microfinance program which primarily serves small-group members like her, who do not have collateral for commercial loans but have businesses that have grown and qualify for microloans.
