Susan's Thankful for her Palm Oil Business

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Susan

Your generous support helps provide microfinance loans, which empower small businesses like Susan's. The goal of interest-free microfinance loans is to provide parents/guardians with the ability to support their families.

Susan expresses her thanks for the microfinance loan she received saying

Hello, my name is Susan and Festus is my nephew. I want to thank Develop Africa for the microfinance that they have given to me. With the help of this microfinance, I can provide school lunch to Festus and for school.

I want to thank them again because this microfinance means a lot to me; with the microfinance fund they have given to me, I am doing a palm oil business; I buy palm oil from the provinces and sell them within my community.

Your support is helping individuals like Susan, provide a better life for their families. We invite you to make a #YearEnd donation for more small businesses in Sierra Leone.

Update from Joseph & Mariatu

By Amy M Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Your generous support is continuing to help provide microfinance loans, which helps small businesses like Mariatu's. The goal of interest-free microfinance loans is to provide parents/guardians with the ability to support their families. Joseph, from the Develop Africa Sierra Leone team, went to visit Mariatu at her business.

In this video, Joseph & Mariatu talk about her microfinance loan and her appreciation for the support.

Hi, my name is Joseph and I work with Develop Africa. Today I am with Mariatu, she happens to be one of the beneficiaries of the interest-free microfinance program. The essence of this program is to provide interest-free loans to parents whose kids are part of the sponsorship program so that the parents can be able to start small businesses to provide lunch and other necessities for their kids.

Mariatu sells fries/snacks and candies at a primary school in her community. Through her business, she can support her kids, and two of her kids are part of the sponsorship program.

Good morning, my name is Mariatu. Thank you all for the microfinance through Develop Africa, with the microfinance support, I was able to start my own business and can now provide for my kids.

Thank you all for you do for us in Sierra Leone. May God bless you. Thank you. Thank you guys!

Your support is helping individuals like Mariatu, provide a better life for their families. If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we encourage you to consider starting a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way to give individuals a hand up in their businesses.
