Dear Project Supporters,
We greatly appreciate your support that is empowering small businesses. Our microfinance or microcredit loans give individuals a helping hand to start their businesses or to help them grow their existing businesses. Aminata is one of the small business owners that recently received a microfinance loan and she is also a mudslide survivor.
In her video, she expresses her appreciation saying
Hi, My name is Amanita, I am one of the people that were affected by the August 14th, 2017 mudslide disaster and I was fortunate to be one of the beneficiaries of the microfinance loan scheme. I am a seamstress I usually make dress for sales, I took advantage of the loan and used it to buy a new sewing machine, since then I have been able to take care of my kids as I now have my own sewing machine which I now use to sew for people and in return I have been paid for my service. I thank you for the microfinance loan you gave me.
We welcome your continued support that helps provide microfinance loans to individuals like Aminata. You are helping provide these individuals with the ability to become self-sufficient and provide a better life for themselves and their families. We encourage you to consider starting a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
With great appreciation,
Amy &The Develop Africa Team
