Bosco is from Rwanda. He needs a loan of $850 to buy more produce.
Bosco run a produce stand in Kitabi, Rwanda, selling items such as bananas, potatoes, beans, vegetables, etc. He currently lacks the capital needed to run his business as he would like.
With a loan through World Vision, Bosco will be able to restock his business with produce, which will then help him attract customers and generate income. He will also be able to employ another individual in his local community. Additional income created will allow him to reinvest in his business and save for his future.
In the future, Bosco wants to keep expanding his business and employ others in his local community. He says he will have a great life.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs 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.
