Jean Pierre has been in the business selling cows and goats for one year and half.
With a new loan, Jean Pierre will be able to purchase enough goats and a cow for selling. He also plans to keep paying school fees for the children. He also hopes that the children in community will be able to get fresh milk for drinking.
Jean Pierre Ntirambirwa is 34 years old, married with five children aged between 1 – 9 years. One of his children called Ruth is sponsored by World Vision, which provides school fees and materials. Jean Pierre lives in the village called Rugogwe.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs entrepreneur begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.

The community of Nyaruguru is located in southern Rwanda, where the climate is temperate. Despite poor soil, most families depend on subsistence agriculture. Food insecurity and malnutrition rates are high. Some farmers grow tea, which is then sold to a nearby factory. Livestock were once a source of income, but cattle have been consistently stolen to finance the conflict in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo, which was sparked by the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s.
As a result of the genocide, many children are orphaned and living in child-headed households. Families struggle to find suitable shelter; many homes lack adequate roofing and are in need of repair. Unable to afford school fees, children often abandon education and seek jobs. Though HIV and AIDS remains a serious concern, the community lacks the resources to provide adequate healthcare.
In Nyaruguru, World Vision is working to improve quality of life for community members by constructing health centers and toilets; supporting education through school supplies and financial assistance; providing building materials for houses; educating individuals about HIV and AIDS; and providing agricultural and marketing training.

Pierre used the loan to buy more cows for his business.
One of the difficulties he had faced in the past was finding clients at the right time. This expansion has allowed him to fix some of these problems, and provide more for his family.
He prays that he is able to keep progressing in his business, and hopes in the future to branch out into selling goats and sheep as well. He advises his neighbors to keep focusing on their work, so they can get good business.
Pierre continues to repay his loan on time.
Pierre sold cows and goats. He used his loan to purchase more cows. When that business failed, he decided to sell charcoal and that business also failed. He has partially repaid his loan and is thankful to all of the donors who contributed.
Despite the fact that World Vision boasts a 98.7% repayment rate, there will always be some loans that do not get fully repaid. While World Vision does everything it can to ensure that this does not happen, it is an unfortunate reality that must be recognized when providing loans to less fortunate populations.
We hope you will continue to support Pierre by praying for his business and family. Once again, thank you for supporting World Vision Micro.
