Mary

Mary is a 47-year-old married mother of three who lives and works in Bungoma, Kenya. She supports her household through a cereals and groceries business that supplies essential food items to local families. Mary enjoys this work because it allows her to serve her community while earning a steady income for her children. You could say her shop always knows how to grain customer trust.

Limited capital has been her main challenge, often preventing her from stocking enough fast-moving items. She is seeking a loan of 120,000 KES to increase her supply of cereals and other popular grocery products. With improved variety and availability, she expects higher sales and stronger profits. The additional income will help her reinvest in the business and consistently pay school fees for her children. Her business also supports the community by paying local people to help with transporting goods. She further strengthens the local economy by sourcing stock from nearby suppliers.

Mary is deeply grateful to lenders worldwide for supporting borrowers like her and helping families build sustainable livelihoods for the next generation.
