Generous donor support helps provide microfinance loans, which empower small businesses like Mariatu's. The goal of interest-free microfinance loans is to provide parents/guardians with the ability to support their families. Mariatu sells fries/snacks and candies at a primary school in her community. Through her business, she can support her kids, and two of her kids are part of the sponsorship program.

Mariatu expresses her gratitude, "I want to say thank you to Develop Africa for the microfinance loan they have given me, it is helping me a lot in taking care of my children and providing their lunch. I also want to tell the donors thank you because the money is helping me grow my business.  I tell Develop Africa, thank you because they helped greatly in my life and in my children's lives."  

Donor support is helping individuals like Mariatu, provide a better life for their families.
