Uwiriraye Justin owns a small shop in his village and has been in the business since 2005. He works 12 hours a day. He is requesting a loan from World Vision in order to purchase sugar, rice, and tools for his shop.
With the profits, Justine plans to buy a bicycle that will help him transport his goods. He also plans to save money for his future and eventually buy a house. And as his business grows, he will be able to employ one person from his village.
Uwiriraye Justin is 27 years old, single, and lives in the Tare sector in Nyamagabe District. His house is paved by a mixture of sand and cement on the wall.
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 rural community of Nyamagabe is among the most densely populated regions in Rwanda. A large percentage of residents live in poverty, struggling to survive on poor harvests. The community suffers from an acute water shortage and poor hygiene, which lead to waterborne illnesses and diseases such as malaria and worms.
The majority of homes have roofs made of iron sheets or tiles, though some are simply thatched with grass.
Many children in child-headed households live in old, collapsing shelters that do not have lockable doors or windows. The community’s 13 primary and three secondary schools suffer from high dropout rates, as many children cannot afford school fees. Families in this region are still suffering the effects of the 1990s’ genocide that left many orphans and widows in its wake.
In order to improve livelihoods and create a sustainable future for families in Nyamagabe, World Vision is providing school supplies and constructing classrooms; building homes for orphans and vulnerable children; increasing income-generating opportunities through agricultural training and assistance; constructing water tanks; and providing HIV and AIDS care and support.

Justin used his loan to buy soaps, sugar, and telephone cards to sell in his shop. He also saved some money to build a house closer to the city center, where he can sell his goods to a bigger market. He is now able to provide low-cost goods to his community.
Justin’s prayer request is that he would someday get married and start a family. He hopes to one day become a famous businessman and offer jobs to others.
Justin's business has expanded through purchasing additional products needed by his customers.
His life has changed because the income in his family has increased which is the way of sorting out his family problems and business problems as well.
He is thankful to all donors. Justin has repaid his loan in full. These loan funds are now available to help another worthy entrepreneur in his community. Thank you for supporting Justin and World Vision Micro!
