I just finished Module I. It is expensive. I thought I was going to have to quit because of the money. My kids are going to college, my son starts next year, and it’s going to be tight around here financially. But I just love the people that I’m going through the program with so much, and I can’t imagine leaving them. They’re so wonderful and supportive, and we all just hold each other up.

Module II starts in a couple weeks.

Marouan is a 47-year-old husband and father of four who wants to secure a better income for his family. Marouan is very passionate and diligent in his work at the car garage. He stands out for his professionalism and integrity. His last loan from Al Majmoua had a very positive effect. Marouan is now seeking another loan to purchase multiple cars which he could work on. He hopes that, later on, this will enable him to purchase a home and provide his family with a comfortable lifestyle.

Fadia is a 37-year-old woman who lives in Saida, Southern Lebanon, with her husband and their three children. She has owned a grocery store since 2006. She also sells candies, canned food, home cleaning products, etc.

Fadia requested a loan from Al Majmoua in order to purchase merchandise for her store. This is her fourth loan and she has always repaid on time. Her previous loans helped her improve her work by diversifying her merchandise and offering more products.

Fadia is special in her work because she opens early in the morning and closes late in the evening. Her clients are her friends, neighbors and traders. When she first started her business, she didn’t have enough cash to purchase a lot of merchandise. Fadia decided on doing her business because she wanted to supplement her husband’s income, and also because she always wanted to work for herself.

In future, Fadia plans to keep on improving her store.
