We would love to introduce you to Nugi Chuquala.
She is one of Engage Now Africa's many micro-credit success stories!
Nugi is the mother of three children and lives in the village of Bekejo. Thanks to a small micro-credit loan and business training from Engage Now Africa, Nugi's life has been greatly impacted and improved. Before Nugi joined the Bekejo Women's group, she had a handmade clay stove that many women in her village would borrow. Following her training, she had the idea to turn her ability to make clay stoves in to a small business. It wasn't long before business was booming!
In Nugi's own words she said "My product now prefer by many and my business is growing and I am happy now ."
Before their clay stove business, they were struggling to make ends meet and feed their family. They feared their dreams of sending their children to school would never become a reality.
For the first time, all of their children are attending school. They no longer struggle to feed their family and they also reported that their health and overall well being has improved because they can now afford nutritious food.
"I will like to thank Engage Now for all they did for Bekejo women and for me."
