We’d like to introduce you to Mbambo!!
Mbambo is a mother of four that joined Engage Now Africa’s Self Supported Assistance program in 2012. We recently sat down with her to see how her life has changed since receiving her loan.
This is her story:
“I have been working hard in my business. I was able to pay for and support my children’s education and I am still supporting them because of Self Supported Assistance. One of my kids has completed grade 12 and he is in training to become a police officer. This is a huge achievement for my family!!
I started with a loan of $500. That was a loan that I could not get from any bank as I am a poor woman and had nothing to give for collateral to the bank.
I never believed that one day I would sleep in a brick house that I built by myself!!! Also, because of Engage Now Africa I have electricity in my house and I can cook with an electrical stove. This is my life’s achievement.
My house will be ready completed in December and will have a party for my life achievement and my life investment of my kids for the future. Thank you Engage Now Africa.”
Congratulations to Mbambo for using her Self Supported Loan to build her business and move her four children into a brick home with electricity and the ability to cook for them over an electric stove!
