Hoda, a widow, is raising her grandson whose parents both passed away. At first she could not afford to send him to school because she was dependent on the income he brought in. After taking a microloan from Grameen Foundation partner Al Tadamun, she is now able to send him to school. Hoda is diversifying her products by reselling women’s apparel as well as by selling food she makes in her own home. She is particularly known for her delicious mashrub (chickpea soup).

(Visit Grameen's Website)
Grameen Foundation's mission is to empower
the world's poorest people to lift
themselves out of poverty with dignity
through access to financial services and
to information.
With tiny loans, financial services and
technology, we help the poor, mostly
women, start self-sustaining businesses to
escape poverty. Founded in 1997 by a group
of friends who were inspired by the work
of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, our global
network of microfinance partners reaches
over 3.6 million families in 25 countries.
