The loan helped them to develop their business and house

Payel is in 10th class now. She was not available at home so we talked to her mother, Mampi about the loan. She told us that she used the loan to pay for Payel's tuition fees, school fees and pay for educational materials. Mampi is a member of BJS (Milaap's partner) from 4 years. Payel is good in studies. She got average marks in 9th class. She is interested in watching music shows on TV, apart from studying. Mampi's husband runs a medical shop. He used to supply door to door earlier and now he has taken a shop on rent. They have 5 members in the family. She has two daughters and one son. They are in 10th,7th and 4th class. They earn Rs 7000-8000 from the medical shop. Her daughters desire to continue their studies. She was out in school for her test exam during the time of our visit. Payel studies 1-2 hours a day by herself. With the help of the loan, they were able to give their daughter a better education. They were also able to develop their business and their household. Mampi said that earlier they didn't have much money and didn't have their own shop. They also bought household necessary things from the profit they made over the years. She thanks the lenders for the loan..
