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.

Mudasomwa is a densely populated rural community in Rwanda. Families in this area grow crops such as sorghum, sweet potatoes, beans, and bananas. Soil quality is poor, and many families keep livestock simply to have manure to use as fertilizer.
Some homes have roofs made of iron sheets or tiles, while others are simply thatched with grass. Widows and children often live in homes with damaged walls and leaking roofs. Many children in this community live alone or care for younger siblings and are unable to attend school. Insufficient diets, unclean water, and lack of sanitary toilets and sinks increase the prevalence of diseases, including malaria, worms, and malnutrition. Health facilities in the area do not have enough supplies or staff to adequately serve the community.
World Vision is working to improve life for community members in Mudasomwa by providing vocational training, school supplies, healthcare, health education, food assistance, seeds and fertilizers, livestock, and water tanks.

Jean de Dieu has used his loan from World Vision to purchase sugar, rice, and cooking oil to sell in his shop. It has also allowed him to save money to purchase forest land, which will allow him to sell wood. He is providing more food for his family and better goods for his community. His main problem is that he faces a lot of competition and has few customers.
His prayer request is that he would be able to use the loan well. In the future, he hopes to expand his business. Thank you for supporting Jean de Dieu and World Vision Micro!
A shop owner, Jean de Dieu used his loan to purchase more items to sell. However, some of his goods were stolen. His business has failed. He is thankful to all of the donors who contributed to his loan and asks for prayers that he may run his business well without any other interruptions.
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 regret to inform you that Jean has defaulted on his loan but hope you will continue to support him by praying for his business and family. Once again, thank you for supporting World Vision Micro.
