A loan to help purchase more inventory for a grocery shop.
Hawa is a 33-year-old entrepreneur who lives with her husband and three children in Gushegu district in Ghana. She runs a grocery store. With her previous Kiva loan, she expanded her grocery store and used the profit she earned to support her family's daily needs.
Hawa is now requesting another loan to purchase more groceries for her shop. She plans to use the profit she earns to reinvest in her business. She will repay the ‘social interest’ on her second loan by volunteering 2.5 hours per week as a Camfed Learner Guide. In that role, she will follow up with students who are at risk of dropping out of school to find out why they are missing school, and link them with the help they need to stay in school.
