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.

Vestine has used her loan from World Vision to purchase cassava to sell in the market. She was also able to buy a plot of land to build a house on and has used her profits to expand her business. Her community has also benefited from buying cassava at a good price and her family has a better life. Her main problem is the long distance she must travel to sell her goods. Vestine's prayer request is that she would one day be a wholesaler. She plans on expanding her business and continuing to provide for her family. Thank you for supporting Vestine and World Vision Micro!
Vestine has seen a great improvement because her cassava sales expanded with the loan. The living style of her family increased and in addition to that, the people from her community bought at the cheapest price.
She really thanks the donors and her wish is that they could visit her in her business area. Her hope is to build her own house someday.
Vestine has repaid her loan in full. These loan funds are now available to help another worthy entrepreneur in her community. Thank you for supporting Vestine and World Vision Micro!
