Nyirabagarura is a widow, her husband died two years ago after suffering for a long time with asthma and malaria. One night he could not breathe and died. She has five children. Four children attend school, two are in senior one, and two are in primary.
Nyirabagarura says she is good at business. Her husband was sick for many years and often bedridden. During this time she was able to feed and care for their children. She says "I also tried to take my husband to the hospital but they requested much money which I could not afford and I ended up losing him."
"I have one boy who is good at keeping goats and sheep. Before my husband died this young boy used to graze them after school and from one goat in two years we had ten goats. I hope with this experience I will be able to pay back the loan after a year."
Nyirabagarura requests a loan to purchase a goat, rice and cabbages for resale, seeds and supplies for digging (farming).
