Mrs. Weneber has been earning an income from running a progressive grocery store business found in their own village. She sells a wide range of groceries items, household products, footwear, animal feeds, farm inputs etc. Her store is open every day from 5 in the morning until 7 in the evening. Her customers can freely go inside the store and pick up the products they would like to buy. She offers her products in both cash and credit. Her sales are usually higher on Saturdays due to the market day. Twice a week Weneber goes to the city to replenish her stocks to avoid running out of the stocks she sells. At present, her eldest daughter is helping her in the daily operation of the business as she waits for the result of her work application as a public school teacher.

Weneber has been a member of MFI Lamac since 2016 and has repaid several loans already. Three loans were funded by Lendwithcare and the last loan was in March 2021. She used the loan mainly to have additional funds to purchase volume of stocks specifically farming inputs such as commercial fertilisers, plant vitamins and crop protection products.

This time, she applied for the same amount of loan to have the money for fully paying the tuition and graduation expenses for her son and his partner. She is happy to support the schooling of her children so that they can have well-paid jobs to support their own families. The rest of the loan money will be used for buying greater quantities of products to sell. Weneber will continue to stay positive and always provide her customer with good service so that with the help of the loans and her customers her business will continue to grow even more in the future.
