When the client first came to us, she was a simple lady living in a small room with her 4 member
family; her need for the loan came from her desire to improve her income and standard of living.
By time she increased the types of goods she sells including shoes and herbs which raised her
income to EGP 9000 per year which helped her build her out -of -brick made house on a small
piece of land, as well as furnishing it and buying a fridge. It is worthy to mention that she works
hard to enroll her children into school and even tried entertaining them by buying them a bike.
