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.

Esther has used her loan from World Vision to purchase plastic tubs for bathing, shoes, and clothes for her shop, to sell alongside food and other goods. The profits have been reinvested to expand her business, and offer cheaper prices. She has also been able to provide food for her family. The main challenge she faces is the high cost to transport goods.
Her prayer request is that she would one day own a large shop. Esther hopes that in the future her business would succeed and her family would be well.
Esther owns a small shop where she sells dry goods and sundry items. She used her loan to buy more stock to sell and her business has grown.
Her customers were happy with the selection of goods and the cheaper prices. Her profits enabled her to meet her family's needs. Unfortunately, her husband was jailed and her business started to collapse.
Esther has had difficulty repaying her loan but is slowly making payments. She hopes that her husband will be released from jail so that her business may continue.
We hope you will continue to support Esther by praying for her business and family. Once again, thank you for supporting World Vision Micro.
