Mariatu – Saleswoman in Sierra Leone
I want to continue growing my business, and I would like MUNAFA to raise the loan ceiling even further so that we women entrepreneurs can go even further.
My name is Mariatu Williams. I have three children and a husband who is currently unemployed but actively supports me in my business.
I joined MUNAFA in 2021 with an initial loan of 1,000 SLE (€37). Thanks to my regular repayments, I have been able to gradually obtain larger amounts, and today I have reached my 15th loan, for 18,000 SLE (€662). With this support, I have been able to buy a popcorn machine and a refrigerator, and expand my shop. I am attracting more customers and have significantly increased my sales.
Growing through savings and training
Thanks to my business, my family is living better and I can finance my children’s education and healthcare. MUNAFA taught me how to save and manage my business rigorously. Today, I am proud to have diversified my business and to be able to dream even bigger.
A future focused on growth
I want to continue growing my business, and I would like MUNAFA to raise the loan ceiling even further so that we women entrepreneurs can go even further.
