Fidele

Fidele is an entrepreneur with two franchises in Rwanda. He and his wife have been running the two successful franchises in Rwanda with the aim to provide the communities with safe and affordable drinking water. In addition, Fidele has a passion for providing opportunities to the youth to earn a living out of the franchise enterprise.

Fidele is facing a big challenge of distributing water in Kabeza to his customers because he has no means of transport. This loan will help him to purchase a delivery van to distribute water to his customers and re-sellers and reach out further to those who currently can't afford to buy Jibu water because of the transport cost.

Jibu is a social enterprise pioneering a powerful new model that capitalizes and equips entrepreneurs in emerging market communities to own businesses that ensure access to basic human necessities, with water as an anchor product. Driven by a belief in the power of eye-to-eye partnership to unleash latent entrepreneurial talent, Jibu is transforming the challenge of addressing basic human needs into an expansive opportunity that allows thousands of entrepreneurs to build lasting solutions, one neighborhood at a time.

The company’s vision is to train, finance, and grow a network of co-invested business owners like Fidele, who will revolutionize the way critical resources are leveraged to develop essential infrastructure in emerging markets.
