Madaye

Madaye is 46 years old and lives in the town of Makindye in the Makindye region of Uganda. She is married and has five children, with four of them currently in school. For the past five years, Madaye has been working hard to manage her restaurant, which sells snacks. To help expand her business, Madaye has requested a loan of 3,000,000 Ugandan shillings from BRAC Uganda. The loan will be used to buy more snacks and food to sell, and will help Madaye to generate greater profits. She will be able to educate her children. Madaye hopes that in the future she will be able to construct rental units.

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