As some of you may know, back in January I began to use some of the meager profit from the site to help others. The first loan was made to Layla Abou Ghida, the loan was made through Kiva.org.
Layla is a 41 year-old mother of 3. She lives with her family in south Lebanon, in the region of Nabatieh. This is the second time Layla is asking for a loan from Al Majmoua. She needs to buy new merchandise for her accessories store. Layla does not only limit her business to accessories sales but also works in the make-up sector.
The latest payment was made on April 15, 2008, and I can’t see any reason not to have all of the payments made on time.
I will continue to be making at least one donation every month for the forseeable future. If you see a business that you think we should invest in please let me know.
