Anna got her first microloan in 2021 and with it bought a bundle of used clothes, which she sold quickly. She then used the profit to buy a sewing machine and began making clothes on order for customers. Very soon thereafter her husband was in an accident and broke his thighbone. He could no longer work, and she became the sole support of her family, which includes 3 small children.
Anna began making school uniforms and obtained contracts for aprons. She paid for her husband's medical bills and all of the family expenses out of her profits. Anna estimated that the supplies for a ladies' dress cost about $7 and it takes her about 3 hours to complete. She sells each dress for $12- $15. Her husband has just now started working again.
With a Microloan, Anna is managing to meet daily home needs and continue to expand her business.
With your support, we can continue to empower more women with microloans and help break the cycle of poverty.
Thanks for your continued support.
