Albertine has been struggling to stock her store with merchandise. She needs a loan to purchase more foodstuffs such as rice, beans, peas, and flour. With these additional products, Albertine hopes to expand her business and earn a greater profit so that she can build a better future for her family and her business.
Albertine is 23-years-old, married, and has one child. She and her small family live in Nyarutovu, a region of Ruhengeli situated in the northern province of Rwanda.
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 community of Nyarutovu is located in a hilly area, with access to the road that leads into Kigali, Rwanda’s capital city. Families depend on crops, including passion fruit, green vegetables, and bananas, for income. The climate is characterized by three seasons—a short rainy season, a long dry season, and a long rainy season. The area is served by one small river.
More than 2,500 women in the community lost their husbands in the genocide of the 1990s and now struggle to generate income, often while dealing with the effects of HIV and AIDS. Many children in Nyarutovu live in child-headed households, eat only one meal a day, and don’t attend school.
In Nyarutovu, World Vision is constructing classrooms equipped with toilets, providing educational supplies and paying school fees, building homes for orphans and vulnerable children, ensuring that those with HIV and AIDS have access to medical care, and building water tanks for access to safe water.

Albertine invested her loan in the purchase of a variety of goods for her shop. The business did not improve as she hoped and it has been a challenge to pay back the loan on time.
Despite having some of her goods stolen, Albertine was able to succeed in her business and make a profit.
These funds are now available to help another worthy entrepreneur in her community. Thank you for supporting Albertine and World Vision Micro!
