Our 50,000th loan client, Lenie
 

Lenie (pictured with Loan officer and her bicycle taxi) is married and looks after two children and an orphan (from her sister).

She used to sell vegetables but now runs a bicycle taxi business.  She bought the bike from the savings built up from a previous loan cycle).

Lenie employs a boy to ride the bike and - because she has more time on her hands - also cooks fritters. She has been Treasurer of her loan group from the start, a job she enjoys because she can use her education and her business knowledge.

She says it is "an easy job because the group is very good at repayments."  She also likes working as a team because of the knowledge she can gain from other members of the group.

Lenie is very grateful for the opportunity she has been given to work for herself: "My husband and I used to be farmers without enough income to get through the year.  We have now been able to build our own house, and buy goats and sheep.  We have a good life now and plan to put our children through secondary school."
