Evariste is from Gasaka, Rwanda. He needs a loan of $850 to restock his store.
Evariste, from Gasaka, Rwanda, owns a variety store. He currently lacks the capital needed to restock his store as he would like.
With a loan through World Vision, Evariste will be able to restock his store with various goods such as lotion, toothpaste, etc. He will then be able to attract more customers and generate sales. 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 long run, Evariste wants to keep expanding his business and be financially stable. He also wants to create jobs for others in his community.
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.
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.
Evariste Mwizerwa does not have any updates yet.
