Mercy
A loan of $3,650 helps to buy food for her restaurant.
Mercy's story
Mercy is a 35-year-old entrepreneur who lives with her husband and two children in the Bole district in Ghana. With her previous Kiva loan, she expanded her restaurant business. She used the profits she earned to support her family.
Mercy is requesting another loan to buy food for the business. She plans to reinvest the profits she earns in her business.
She will repay the 'social interest' on her second loan by volunteering two-and-a-half hours per week as a CAMFED Learner Guide, facilitating classes from CAMFED’s ‘My Better World’ program with students at her local secondary school, helping to build their self-esteem and motivating them to remain in school.
