For those who follow GHAPE, they have one loan up this morning.


Doh Patrick Acho

Patrick is married to two wives and has seven children. His greatest wish is to see his children become responsible citizens in the future, so he toils relentlessly to make this wish a reality. He joined GHAPE in 2007 and received his first loan of 40,000FCFA ($40) which he invested in pig farming. Realizing that pig farming is a lucrative business, there is need for expansion.

If given this new loan, Patrick plans to expand his pig farm by buying four piglets, pig feed and materials to repair the pig house. The profit he gets from the loan will be used to educate his children and repair his house.

14-month monthly repayment terms, currency risk covered

GHAPE up: 

Nanga Marcelline

Nanga was born on the 1971 and is married to a very supportive man. They are blessed with five children, four who are younger than fifteen. She lives in a four room house the Nstualam quarter of Bamenda, Cameroon. Before becoming a member, Nanga underwent surgical operations twice during child birth. She joined GHAPE in 2007 and has since benefited enormously through their help. With her previous loans she succeeded in providing her community with table birds for food and manure for farming.

With the third loan, she plans to buy a motorbike. Her son will be riding the motorbike. She will reinvest part of the profit into her business for expansion. She will also use part for food, clothes, school fees, and hospital bills.
