$9400 to buy some cornflour, cassava, charcoal and water, which will strengthen her initial capital.
Madam Colette is a client of Hekima IMF and the chairperson of the groupe villageoise 'MWENDA'. She is married, 49 years old and a mother of 7 children, all of whom are all in school. Her partner is a doctor.
She is a local beverage seller, she started this business 13 years ago with start-up funds from her husband. Later she got involved in the Hekima programme to support her business, which allowed it to gradually evolve. With this new loan, she will buy some cornflour, cassava, charcoal and water, which will strengthen her initial capital. The challenge faced by her business is the lack of customers.
She would like her children to keep studying and she would like to provide for her family. Finally, she would like to thank Hekima and its partners for supporting non-monetisable business owners in this global crisis related to the Covid-19. The photo is only of the leader of the group because of the Covid-19 in respect of social distancing measures.
