PROSPER Project in Tanzania Helps Monica Patrick Build New Home and New life
Monica Patrick is married, with three children, living in the Sikonge District of Tanzania. Through the ECLT Foundation's PROSPER project, she received a loan of 190,000 TS to improve her household income and withdraw her children from working at tobacco farms.
With these resources, she produces and sells clothing and cultivates the land she owns. The combination has resulted in enough income for her to not only send her children to school, but construct a house for her family.
Because of PROSPER, Monica Patrick's children are enjoying the new home and attending school. She anticipates using further profit to diversify her businesses by investing in a retail shop, as well as continuing with her current business of selling fabric and investing in agriculture-related activities.
