   			Masseh is a 49-year-old single mother of four children, all of whom are in school. She is a strong and determined woman who has been running her dried fish business for 20 years. 

Masseh started her business with her own savings and taught herself how to trade, gaining experience over time. Each day, she spends about seven hours selling dried fish in her community. She uses a car to transport her supplies, which helps her move goods easily and serve her customers better. 

Despite the demands of business, Massa faces no major challenges and continues to work with confidence and consistency. 

To grow her business further, Masseh plans to use a loan to buy more dried fish and increase her stock. She believes this will help her earn more income and support her children’s education. 

Masseh’s future goal is to buy land and build her own house, creating a secure and comfortable life for her family.

She learned how to sell from her sister. To transport her goods to her business site she uses a car, and her sales have been steady.

To expand her business and increase profits, Joyce applied for a loan through BRAC Liberia, a Kiva lending partner, to purchase more beans, bitter balls and oil to sell to her good clients. She is passionate about her work, as it not only sustains her family but also gives her the opportunity to improve their living situation.

   		&lt;/a&gt;
   		   		   		&lt;b&gt;$50 of $1,050 raised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

   			Started raising funds on Apr 3, 2026
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Serina is a 50-year-old woman. Though she did not go far in school, she describes herself simply as hardworking—and her life proves it every day. 

She is a mother of three, all of them are currently in school. Providing for them has always been her greatest motivation. For years, Serina has run a small business selling dry goods like rice, oil, and Vita [bouillon cubes]. 

She spends about five hours each day at her stall, carefully serving customers and making sure her business continues to grow. With the help of a keke, she transports her goods, never letting challenges stop her. 

Sarah learned the trade from her aunty, building on that knowledge with years of experience. What she loves most about her work is the independence it gives her. It makes her proud, proud that she can stand on her own and take care of her family. 

With this loan, she will purchase more rice, oil and vita to sell to her clients. Now, Serina dreams bigger. She hopes to one day build her own store and, most importantly, send her children to college. And with a grateful heart, she simply says, “Thank you.”
