Sonia's story
Sonia, a 37-year-old entrepreneur, runs a beauty parlor to support her family. Limited equipment and products initially restricted her business growth. With a CEIP microfinance loan, Sonia upgraded her tools, cosmetics, and furniture, improving service quality and attracting more clients. As her income grew, she began contributing confidently to household expenses and supporting her children’s education.
Sonia's journey shows how microfinance empowers women, strengthens livelihoods, and creates lasting positive change for families.
