Kalerwe Market

Opportunityâs agricultural finance initiative will help ensure that client Ruth Nassimbwa has a steady supply of fruits and vegetables for her market stall in Kampala. Ruth was in business for years, but until she received an Opportunity loan in 2006, she had difficulty purchasing inventory. A true entrepreneur, Ruth expanded from selling groceries to operating her own restaurant. Now repaying her tenth loan of $779, her business is stable and her loan is insured. Ruthâs income has more than doubled enabling her to send her four children to school, and to hire four neighbors to help in her businesses.
