Micro Loans Help Businesses to Succeed
Otis Dyega in his pharmacy near Buchanan. Sumo Gibson is one of our Pharmacy graduates.
Otis took his first micro loan in Sept 2008. ($650.00) He paid it in full within 6 months, completing the payments “early”. His second loan was granted June 4, 2009 ($1,000.00)and again he completed payment early, within 6 months. His 3rd loan was on December 8/09 ($2,000.00) paid in full in 9 months. December 15/10 he got his 4th loan ($2,000.00) and paid it again within 6 months. November 7/11 he got his 5th loan ($3,000) and is respectively paying it back on schedule. Sumo Gibson is one of our students who completed a 4 yr. degree in Pharmacy at Cuttington University and is now working as an apprentice with Otis Dyega. One day Sumo will run his own pharmacy and medical clinic in a remote village where there is a great need for medical services. See more on Sumo Gibson here Sumo Gibson’s Graduation
Through MICRO LOANS, Otis has enlarged his clinic and little by little he is improving his premises. As a nurse, Otis continues to help the sick and needy in their community. He carries the same vision as Provision of Hope. See a previous blog post Micro Loans Help In Rebuilding Liberia Today, because of the micro loans, Otis has been able to upgrade his pharmacy to this level.

We have a lot of success stories. I really need more time to post them! If our millionaires in North America, could see what we are actually accomplishing with the people of Liberia, they would be very quick to donate. THIS is what is will end poverty! When the people of the country engage in the work.

Thank you Mary and Jeff for your consistent, faithful support towards Boye Karteh. You are giving him an opportunity towards a more promising future! I know he will land a job when he is finished school. He is agressive and ambitious. I have confidence in his abilities. God will make a way. You are a blessing!!
