Ntinyegura Chantal ( 32 years)I have five children and I live in Taba in Gihosha district. My husband is a farmer. Before I met with HAWODI, I was renting a space in the local market of Gasenyi. When I received the loan from HAWODI, I did some savings and decided to buy a spot of operation in the market. I sell tomatoes, opinions, peanuts, other groceries. I make 8000 Fbu of profit per day. My children now eat better. To tell the truth, the HAWODI loan has improved our lives in my house.
