Charlotte

Charlotte's business performance has been excellent from time to time. For the last few years she has grown her business through a big network of customers. Her territory of Kicukiro has much potential for further growth, and an additional delivery van will enhance good customer service to both retailers and end customers.

Charlotte's biggest challenge currently is delivery. She has many customers who need deliveries, but she is unable to reach them, and needs an additional delivery van. The loan will allow her to purchase a van that can be used to supply her customers.
