1st story

I’m a widow and I have four girls. I live in Ezbet Kamal and I didn’t have regular incomes, only a small pension. Two years a half ago I had the opportunity to obtain a loan from EACD micro credits program. It was for me a good way to increase my revenues; I became chicken’s saleswoman in El Ezba. The project is running properly, I was able to give a dowry to my eldest daughter, to offer job opportunity to my second one in my shop, and to pay schools expenses for the two others.

Six months ago I finished paying my monthly installments, thus I was able to begin to improve my shop, and I bought a fridge on credit.

2nd story

This is an example of a project that we planned together and that gave job opportunities for several families in the area. This project aims to set up a production-line work between several workshops/families on plastic recycling. The first family is in charge of grinding the plastic to get small marbles. The second one takes the marbles to manufacture irrigation tubes. The third one is responsible of selling them on the local market and to the agricultural farms.

Those loans and the revenues generated through the activities give the opportunity to improve life conditions of the families, and also of the whole community.
