In 2007, Bahiya applied for a loan from Al Majmoua, where she received her first group loan of $300. She continued to borrow loans between $600 and $1,000 on a yearly basis and used the loans to improve her business, resulting in a significant growth in her activity.
She was eventually able to open a mouneh shop of her own and recruited three women as employees. “I am very proud of my achievement and I am keen on accomplishing more,” Bahiya says. “I am thankful to Al Majmoua’s support which has contributed to my success as a businesswoman and helped me provide a good standard of living for my family.”
