Mariatu - Palm Oil Retailer - Says Thank You

By Sylvester Renner | Project Leader

Mariatu says Thanks!

Dear Project Supporters,

Meet Mariatu, a project beneficiary. She is a palm oil (cooking oil) retailer at a local market in Freetown. During the Ebola crisis, her husband was unemployed and she was the sole bread winner.

Thanks to the microfinance loan that she received, her business is doing well. Her family is fed every day and the kids are able to go to school. Your support made a huge difference in sustaining her and her family.

Mariatu says a personal Thanks! in this video.

"I say a big "Thank You" for this microfinance program that you made available. During the Ebola crisis, my husband was unemployed. Through this loan, my children have been fed and are going to school. Also, everything is well at home and taken care of - so I am very grateful to you for your support. My name is Mariatu."

YOU, made this happen!

Thanks so much for your support.

Best Regards,

Develop Africa team
