Vestine sells lamp oil (Kerosene), and has been in the business since 2004. Before the business, it was hard for Vestine to afford the health care fees. With the new loan, Vestine will be able to purchase enough lamp oil which is used by many people in her village.
With the profits, Vestine plans to buy more food for her family, save money for his children’s future and expand the business. She also hopes that since there is no electricity in her village, the neighbors will be able to buy the lamp oil near their homes.
Vestine Nyiransengimana is 29 years old, married with four children; she lives in Mataba Sector, Gakenke District in Northern Province. Her house is constructed by mud bricks with tiles roof.
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 Nyarutovu is located in a hilly area, with access to the road that leads into Kigali, Rwanda’s capital city. Families depend on crops, including passion fruit, green vegetables, and bananas, for income. The climate is characterized by three seasons—a short rainy season, a long dry season, and a long rainy season. The area is served by one small river.
More than 2,500 women in the community lost their husbands in the genocide of the 1990s and now struggle to generate income, often while dealing with the effects of HIV and AIDS. Many children in Nyarutovu live in child-headed households, eat only one meal a day, and don’t attend school.
In Nyarutovu, World Vision is constructing classrooms equipped with toilets, providing educational supplies and paying school fees, building homes for orphans and vulnerable children, ensuring that those with HIV and AIDS have access to medical care, and building water tanks for access to safe water.
