The Story of a Loan in Cameroon
Our friends at the African Development Bank created this video about Alice Mbullah, a woman in Cameroon who has been able to grow his fishing business with the help of a small loan.
As the film tells us, more than 100,000 entrepreneurs in Cameroon received loans to support their farming and fishing business and more than 70% of the fishing entrepreneurs are women.
These businesses have helped these women send their children to school and improve their positions in society.
This is just one of a series of short videos the Africa Development Bank is creating and that we’ll be posting here on the ONE Blog.
