Sarah

Sarah is 48 years old and lives in the town of Makindye in the Makindye region of Uganda. She is married and has six children, four of them are currently in school. For the past four  years, Sarah has been working hard to manage her bar, where she sells alcohol. To help expand her business, Sarah has requested a loan of 3000000 Ugandan Shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to buy more alcohol for sale, which will help Sarah to generate greater profits and help her educate her children. Sarah hopes that in the future she will be able to construct rental units.

Sarah is a member of BRAC's Microfinance program (MF). The program primarily serves small group members like Sarah who do not have collateral for commercial loans, but have businesses that have grown and qualify for microloans.
