Gracious’ Story

Gracious Kanema was trained in village banking in 2020. After the training, she started saving and taking loans to start a small business selling products like beans, pounded groundnuts, soya, kapenta and vegetables such as rape, tomato, onion, pumpkin leaves.

Gracious says, the venture has helped her to save money for the future. She was able to buy household goods and school equipment for her children.

Before village banking, she says she used to stay at home, but now she is a busy woman.  Even when the economy bites, she is able to support her family.  She no longer has to beg money from her husband to buy things to use at home, which would cause fights. She thanks BFZ for the knowledge she has gained, life is never the same.
