Can you smell that? Mmmm, I can. I love fall. Really, really.
our life on a small volcanic island in the Indian Ocean
Ofugho is a 30 year old married woman with a child.She has been working as a commercial-based tailor since 2004 to earn income to satisfy the needs of her child and husband. She is requesting for the loan amount of N50,000 to purchase tailoring materials to meet the requirement of her customers and make good income.She says thanks to all kiva lenders.
Her requested loan amount equated to $350 USD to be repaid over a period of 10 months. A person can loan as little as $25. I wanted to support Ofugho because this loan will help empower her to do and be more in her world. If she is sucessful, she can be a good example to other women in her community. My hope is that by helping this one person, it will have a small, but still very positive effect in that local community. I will keep you all updated on how her progress plays out. If you have more questions, go to the Kiva about microfinance page for more information.
Now let it sit for 4 to 6 months in a cool dark place, like the back of your food cupboard. Two weeks prior to consuming, add 2 or 3 spoonfuls of sugar and let sit. Enjoy in the following days/weeks/years, depending on how fast you drink this! THAT's how we make rum here in La Réunion!
