I have a small posho mill operating.With loan of 160,000 I PURCHASED the posho mill.reason to start business was to educate our 4 children and one orphan staying with us.I learnt upto secondary school and joined animal health college but did not complete since my mum died and there were other children to go to school.

    Hello,

    Hana replied and informed us that her daughter is very ill and can no longer work in her business, and she has to pay for her son-in-law's hospital stay, and her husband sold most of his cows to pay for this and has no income.
    We wish you a quick recovery, Hana!

    Best,

We do not have further information at the moment on whether Hana's family has any income right now. John advised her to contact us so we can learn from her situation through her directly. We will update you as soon as we have more information. Thank you!
